That Was A Heartache Lyrics - Pam Tillis

Jimmy was a bareback rider 

back in my hometown 

cowboys fall hard 

the whole town saw 

Katie let him down 

Saw him just the other day 

15 years since I've been gone 

Couldn't believe it when I heard him say 

I don't think she's comin' home 

That was a heartache 

no little mistake 

a pain down in your bones 

too much to take 

Time keeps rollin' but you aint movin' on 

You and I had a pretty good time 

and I'll cry when you're gone 

But that was a heartache 

20 years old, runnin wild 

moved out on my own 

Believed every promise that fell from the lips 

that said you'll never be alone 

the heart was young and tender 

how could I realize? 

in the middle of the night 

I still remember 

that last look in his eyes 

That was a heartache 

no little mistake 

a pain down in your bones 

too much to take 

Time keeps rollin' but you aint movin on 

You and I had a pretty good time 

and I'll cry when you're gone 

But that was a heartache 

So it don't mean nothin' if I call you up 

and it don't mean this was really love... 

Just a heartache 

no little mistake 

a pain down in your bones 

Too much to take 

'cause time keeps rollin' but you aint movin on 

Oh you and I had a pretty good time 

and I'll cry when you're gone 

'cause that was a heartache 

That was a heartache...
