It broke my heart to leave the city
([G/f#])
I mean it broke what wasn't broken 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 come through
[G/f#]
it's made me thankful for the blues
- - - - [G/f#]
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 had come through
[G/f#]
It's made him thankful for the blues
- - - - [G/f#]
It broke my heart to know you waited
([G/f#])
I had so many things to do
It's true as far as a lot of stuff
you could have had a little bit of 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 bit of luck
You just called and just hung it up
Baby both of us have had enough
