That Was a Heartache - Pam Tillis

Jimmy was a bareback rider

Back in my hometown

Cowboys fall hard

The whole town saw

Katie let him down

Saw him just the other day

15 years since I’ve been gone

Couldn’t believe it when I heard him say

I don’t think she’s comin' home

That was a heartache

No little mistake

A pain down in your bones

Too much to take

Time keeps rollin' but you ain’t movin' on

You and I had a pretty good time

And I’ll cry when you’re gone

But that was a heartache

20 years old, runnin wild

Moved out on my own

Believed every promise that fell from the lips

That said you’ll never be alone

The heart was young and tender

How could I realize?

In the middle of the night

I still remember

That last look in his eyes

That was a heartache

No little mistake

A pain down in your bones

Too much to take

Time keeps rollin' but you ain’t movin on

You and I had a pretty good time

And I’ll cry when you’re gone

But that was a heartache

So it don’t mean nothin' if I call you up

And it don’t mean this was really love…

Just a heartache

No little mistake

A pain down in your bones

Too much to take

'cause time keeps rollin' but you ain’t movin on

Oh you and I had a pretty good time

And I’ll cry when you’re gone

'cause that was a heartache

That was a heartache…
