Hillbilly With A Heartache

Now, he's a hard workin' easy goin' country boy

He wouldn't harm a fly

Nadine down at the hair salon

Promised she would be his bride

He took it hard when she ran off

With the beauty supply salesman

Well, that's how romance goes sometimes

But Herschel don't understand

He'll play the same sad song on the old jukebox

Drink up every dime he's got

He'll peel out in his pickup truck

Sling gravel through the parking lot

You wouldn't wanna tangle with a grizzly bear

Or step on a copperhead snake

So if you cross his path you better beware

Been wounded by a woman, he's a hillbilly with a heartache

He was gonna buy her a modular home

With no wax linoleum floors

Now his mama's all worried

'Cause he don't drop by to see wrestling anymore

He just rides around with a loaded shotgun

Hanging in his rifle rack

If I was that smooth talkin' city boy

I'd sure be watching my back

He'll play the same sad song on the old jukebox

Drink up every dime he's got

He'll peel out in his pickup truck

And sling gravel through the parking lot

You wouldn't wanna tangle with a grizzly bear

Or step on a copperhead snake

If you cross his path you better beware

He's been wounded by a woman, he's a hillbilly with a heartache

Now, them big old arms that used to hold her tight

Could bring about any man down

When a good ol' boy's been hurt real bad

He just don't give a damn

He'll play the same sad song on the old jukebox

Drink up every dime he's got

He'll peel out in his pickup truck

Sling gravel through the parking lot

You wouldn't wanna tangle with a grizzly bear

Or step on a copperhead snake

If you cross his path you better beware

He's been wounded by a woman, he's a hillbilly with a heartache

Been wounded by a woman, he's a hillbilly with a heartache
