If Heartaches Had Wings Lyrics - Singles - Julie Reeves

(Jody Alan Sweet) 

It's three in the morning on a Saturday night 

The laundry and dishes just ain't worth the fight 

Headlights are dancing across the living room wall 

And that lone distant highway just echos the hall 

Now the babies are sleeping on back in their rooms 

And he's been passed out on the sofa since noon 

And nobody told her about none of these things 

And God only knows she'd leave there if heartaches had wings 

If heartaches had wings she would fly 

Away like some bird through the night 

It's a long long way from a young girl's dream 

And she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings 

She grew up believing that wishes come true 

A knight on a white horse like some young girls do 

So she married her the captain of the school football team 

Just like she was supposed to as homecoming queen 

She turns out the lights and she lays down in bed 

The sounds of that highway still run through her head 

She closes her eyes and she whispers those prayers 

And falls asleep wondering does anyone care 

And God knows she leave there if heartaches had wings
