If Heartaches Were Nickels

(album: Heavy Load Blues - 2021)

I wish you could see me all broken down this way
But even if you saw me, baby, I know I still couldn't make you stay
I couldn't make you stay
You know about the high cost of loving, there's something you're gonna have to pay
You're gonna have to pay
Woman like you needs fine things, woman, knew it right from the start
Woman, I don't have much to offer, baby, just this so broken heart
Just this broken heart
But if heartaches were nickels, I wouldn't be here crying in the dark

If wine and pills were hundred dollar bills, I might keep you satisfied
And if broken dreams were limousines, oh, you know I might take you for a ride
But all I can do is think of you and wish you were by my side
Oh, if heartaches were nickels, then I'd be the richest fool alive

Oh, wine and pills were hundred dollar bills, I might keep you satisfied
And if broken dreams were limousines, oh, you know I might take you for a ride
But all I can do is think of you and wish you were by my side
Oh, if heartaches were nickels, then I'd be the richest fool alive

Yes, I would
I'd be the richest fool alive
Oh, yeah
Richest fool alive
Oh, baby
Richest fool alive
