lyrics

Broke my heart to leave the city
I mean it broke what wasn't broken in there already
Thought of all my great reasons for leaving
Now I can't think of any
It's true it was a hard time that I've come through
It's made me thankful for the blues

Half my life spent on a highway
Half my life I didn't choose
And I have seen the North Star
Shining in the freight yard
And I knew it was a hard time that it'd come through
It's made him thankful for the blues

It broke my heart to know you waited
I had so many things to do
It's true as far as a lot of stuff
You could have had a little better luck
You just called and just hung it up
One of us has had enough

It's true as far as a lot of stuff
You could have had a little better luck
You just called and just hung it up
Baby both of us have had enough
