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
