Rhonda Vincent If Heartaches Had Wings lyrics

It's three in the morning on a Saturday night
The laundry and dishes just ain't worth the fight
Headlights are dancin' across the living room wall
That long distant highway just echoes the hall

Now the babies are sleeping on back in their room
And he's been passed out on the sofa since noon
Nobody told her about none of these things
And God knows, she'd leave there if heartaches had wings

If heartaches had wings she would fly
Away like some bird through the night
It's a long, long way from a young girl's dream
But she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings

She grew up believin' that wishes come true
A knight on a white horse, like some young girls do
So she married her the captain of the school football team
Just like she was supposed to as Homecoming Queen


If heartaches had wings she would fly
Away like some bird through the night
It's a long, long way from a young girl's dream
But she'd surely leave there if heartaches had wings

She turns out the lights and she lays down in bed
The sound of that highway still runs through her head
She closes her eyes and she whispers those prayers
And falls asleep wondering does anyone care?

If heartaches had wings she would fly
Away like some bird through the night
It's a long, long way from a young girl's dream
God knows, she'd leave there if heartaches had wings
If heartaches had wings
