HEADACHES AN’ HEARTBREAKS
 
Once I had a goldmine, now all I got’s the shaft
My woman left and took my dog, and they ain’t comin’ back
My underwear needs washing, and I’m here all alone
Staring at an empty fridge, this house is not a home
 
CHORUS

HEADACHES AN’ HEARTBREAKS are driving me insane
It comes from lying ‘round the house, and drinking beer all day
No one understands me, that’s what  I tell myself
But they all understand me, they know me all too well
 
I guess I brought it on myself, with one too many beers
I need to change my evil ways, before I get too weird
I guess that I could get a job, or operate a still
My woman’s gone, I got no one, to pay the monthly bills
 
CHORUS REPEAT…
 
I’m staring at a TV set, that’s just as broke as me
I guess it’s time that I grew up, and choose what I should be
I could be a surgeon, a lawyer or a chef
I’ll open up a can of beer, and decide what I’ll do next
 
CHORUS REPEAT… GORDON ANDERSON AND JOHN COVERT
