It's 3 in the mornin'
On a Saturday night
The laundry and dishes
Just ain't worth the fight
Headlights are dancin'
'Cross the livin' room wall
That long distant highway
Just echoes the hall
Now the babies are sleepin'
On back in their room
And he's been passed out on
The sofa since noon
Nobody told her 'bout
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 dreams
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 homecomin' 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 dreams
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 wonderin'
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 dreams
But God knows she'd leave there
If heartaches had wings
If heartaches had wings
