Miles Of Heartache Lyrics - Singles - Jamie O'hara

Started out in Birmingham, 

With Jim Beam in a Pepsi can, 

Just to help me cut the pain. 

Spent the night in Mobile, 

Sleepin' on the steerin' wheel. 

Woke up with the sun callin' your name. 

And I got miles of heartache yet to go. 

Never knew forgettin' you would go so slow. 

The memory of you and me's a long and windin' road. 

And I got miles of heartache yet to go. 

Headed down to New Orleans, 

Fell into a Cajun dream, 

Damned if I recall her name. 

Burned it up on Bourbon Street, 

Woke up standin' on my feet. 

Headed out that morning in the rain. 

And I got miles of heartache yet to go. 

I never knew forgettin' you would go so slow. 

The memory of you and me's a long and windin' road. 

And I got miles of heartache yet to go. 

Drifted down to Mexico, 

And figured I'd just lay low. 

Saturday night they threw me into jail. 

Blew my last twenty-five, 

In some old Tiajuana dive. 

Ain't got no dinero for my bail. 

And I got...... 

Instrumental Break. 

Tomorrow they will set me free, 

But free is what I'll never be, 

Long as memories remain. 

New Orleans or Mexico, 

It don't matter where I go. 

Your love is like a ball and chain. 

And I got miles of heartache yet to go. 

I never knew forgettin' you would go so slow. 

The memory of you and me's a long and windin' road. 

And I've got miles of heartache yet to go. 

Yes, I've got miles of heartache yet to go
