A westbound Greyhound
Carries her away from me
A one way ticket
To the city of destiny
Empty streets of
Cracked and busted dreams
I walk alone
And now it seems
Like I'm stranded in the middle of heartbreak city
I paid my dues but nothing comes my way
And it's a garbage can where she trashed my heart what a pity
I think I like it here
Think I'm going to stay
Staying right here
Some call it heartbreak city
They built a 40 foot wall
And each brick promises
Set in whispered vows of
Love and innocence
It's too high to climb it
Too wide to get around it
I'm gonna find me a sidewalk
I'm gonna settle right down on it
Stranded in the middle of heartbreak city
I paid my dues but nothing comes my way
And it's a garbage can where she trashed my heart what a pity
I think I like it here. Guitar
In heartbreak city
Everyday's a holiday
There's nothing to do
Nothing to prove
Nothing to loose in heartbreak city
Nothing to loose no no
Paid my dues but nothing comes my way
And it's a garbage can where she trashed my heart what a pity
Stranded in the middle of heartbreak city
Well I'm stranded in the middle of heartbreak city
Paid my dues mother f*cker nothing comes my way
And every lonely heart that lies bleeding in the gutters of heartbreak city
I think I like it here
