That's When The Heartache Began

I was born in Louisiana Raised on a farm Way back up in the woods But at sixteen, I moved to the town of Farmerville Not that very long ago At least that's how it seems There I met the girl of my dreams I delivered groceries She was still in high school Her daddy kept her on a short leash But I don't have to tell ya We broke her daddy's every rule Then, I went off to the war to do my good deed When I got back home another man Was supplying her every need I didn't wanna live All I did was cry Laid down in the middle of that muddy road I just wanted to die That's when the heartache began And it's been here ever since then That's when the heartache began I wonder, will it ever end? I didn't wanna live All I wanted to do was cry Laid down in the middle of that muddy road I just wanted to die That's when the heartache began I don't know what to do about it Will it ever end? If I could just turn back The hands of time I would still be hers And she would still be mine You know, I know When the heartache began I'm talking about Way back when The pain has been here ever since then I just need someone to tell me Will it ever end? Heartaches Pain Cloudy days and rain It's what I witness most of the time It's driving me out of my mind The heartaches are here Oh looks like they're here to stay Night and day, umm That's when the heartache began It's been a long time It's been a long, long time But they've been here ever since then Heartaches
