Texty: Rhonda Vincent. If Heartaches Had Wings.

It's 3 in the mornin'
On a Saturday night
The laundry and dishes
Just ain't worth the fight

Headlights are dancin'
'Cross the livin' room wall
That long distant highway
Just echoes the hall

Now the babies are sleepin'
On back in their room
And he's been passed out on
The sofa since noon

Nobody told her 'bout
None of these things
And God 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 dreams
But she'd surely leave there
If heartaches had wings

She grew up believin'
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 homecomin' queen

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 dreams
But she'd surely leave there
If heartaches had wings

She turns out the lights
And she lays down in bed
The sound of that highway
Still runs through her head

She closes her eyes
And she whispers those prayers
And falls asleep wonderin'
Does anyone care

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 dreams
But God knows she'd leave there
If heartaches had wings

If heartaches had wings
