Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heading for a heartache blues
I tell myself it's over
But I know it's just no use
'Cause I wake up every morning
With the same old broken hearted
Feeling that I just can't lose
Heading for a heartache blues
I know, what's coming, it won't be long
I'm heading for the bottom like a sinking stone
Good bye note that's all she left
And poor me all by myself
I got the missing her all day
Heading for a heartache blues
I tell myself it's over
But I know it's just no use
'Cause I wake up every morning
With the same old broken hearted
Feeling that I just can't lose
It's those missing her all day, every day in more ways
Heading for a heartache blues
With these missing her all day
Heading for a heartache blues
I tell myself it's over
But I know it's just no use
'Cause I wake up every morning
With the same old broken hearted
Feeling that I just can't lose
It's those missing her all day, every day in more ways
Heading for a heartache blues
Sun comes up same old thing
Ain't no doubt what the day will bring
Walking around calling her
Sun goes down, I start all over again
I got the missing her all day
Heading for a heartache blues
I tell myself it's over
But I know it's just no use
'Cause I wake up every morning
With the same old broken hearted
Feeling that I just can't lose
It's those missing her all day, every day in more ways
