Heartbreak Avenue

She was just sixteen

With a pack of cigarettes and a pawn shop ring

She wanted things to turn out like she'd seen right there

On that silver screen

So she hit the road

With her thumb in the air and a ring in her nose

She had a tattoo of a butterfly because that's the way it goes

When you don't know, just which way the wind will blow

Hey girl

Where are you going to

Say that you'll be the queen

Of Heartbreak Avenue

She met a boy out there

With a silver El Dorado and jet black hair

He had a tattoo of Elvis so they took their clothes off to compare

And well you know just how far these things can go

Then the sun came shining bright

And true love in the morning doesn't feel like it is last night

He left a letter that said goodbye

Hold on tight now he's gone so she'll just move along

Hey girl

Where are you going to

Say that you'll be the queen

Of Heartbreak Avenue

So you say that you don't know how

Your broken dreams just drag you down

Hey girl

Where are you going to

Say that you'll be the queen

Of Heartbreak Avenue

Hey girl

Will you go with children

Hey girl
