IF HEARTACHES WERE WINE
(Kent Westberry / Stonewall Jackson)


Stonewall Jackson - 1967


If hurt was a tavern, then I'd have a home
Somewhere to miss you since you've been gone
If pain was a bottle and tears were neon signs
If heartaches were wine, I'd stay drunk all the time

If blue was an avenue, then I've walked it so many times
Trying hard to forget you, but you're still on my mind
If worries were this table and lonesome was worth a dime
If heartaches were wine, I'd be drunk all the time

(Instrumental Break)

If heartaches were wine, I would never be sober
I'd always be too drunk to know that our love is over
If teardrops were whiskey, then I'd stay stone blind
If heartaches were wine, I'd be drunk all the time
If heartaches were wine, I'd be drunk all the time
