Heartbreak Avenue Lyrics - Singles - Will Hoge

She was just 16 with a pack of cigarettes and a pawn shop ring 

She wanted things to turn out like she'd seen on that silver screen 

So she hit the road with her thumb in the air and a ring in her nose 

She had a tattoo of a butterfly because that's the way it goes 

When you don't know just which way the wind will blow 

[Chorus] 

Hey girl where are you going to 

Say that you'll be the queen of heartbreak avenue 

She met a boy out there with a silver el dorado and jet black hair 

He had a tattoo of Elvis so they took their clothes off to compare 

And well you know just how far these things can go 

Then the sun came shining bright and true love in the morning 

Never feels like it did last night 

He left a letter that said goodbye hold on tight 

Now he's gone so she'll just move along 

[Chorus] 

[Bridge] 

So you say you don't know how your broken 

Dreams just drag you down 

[Chorus]
