Heartache

(album: The Guitar Song - 2010)

I was born by fire in a cold dark cave
In the age of the dinosaur
When a cave man caught his cave woman loving
On the missing link living next door
There was crying and screaming and war drums a beating
And a wave o' violence
None o' them folks survived but me
And I been hanging 'round ever since

'Cause I'm a heartache never see me coming
I'll always take you by surprise
I'm a heartache hungry and hunting
Someone I can eat alive
By the time you know I'm on you
Buddy it's too late
I'm a heartache (heartache)

I watched you taking off tonight
And I knew where you were headed to
I saw that sweet young thing you met
At that dirty ol' motel room
'ell I'm gnawing on your pretty little wife
Waiting up for you at home
You don't even know it but I'm just saving you for later
When I can getcha all alone

Yeah, I'm a heartache never see me coming
I'll always take you by surprise
I'm a heartache hungry and hunting
Someone I can eat alive
By the time you know I'm on you
Buddy it's too late
I'm a heartache (heartache)

From Anthony and Cleopatra
Samson and Delilah
To Jackie and JFK
To Elvis and Priscilla
Charles and Diana
I'd say I've had some pretty good days
And you may not believe it
But you and me son
Are 'bout to have some real fun
'cause I'm coming...ah I'm coming

I'm a heartache never see me coming
I'll always take you by surprise
I'm a heartache hungry and hunting
Someone I can eat alive
By the time you know I'm on you
Buddy it's too late
I'm a heartache (heartache)
I'm a heartache (heartache)
I'm a heartache (heartache)
