It broke my heart to leave the city I mean it broke what wasn't Broken in there already But all my great reasons For leavin' now I can't think of any It's true was a hard time That I come through And i'm still thankful for the blues
Half my life spent on a highway Half my life I didn't choose I have seen the north star Shining in the freightyard And I knew it was a hard time But it came through It made him thankful for the blues
It broke my heart to know you waiting 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 But with you I'm not givin' up Tonight I'm not givin' up
