Headed for a Heartbreak Lyrics

Yeah, yeah

Mornin' came and I was on my way
When you reminded me
I had too soon forgotten
It was you that set me free
Yeah, you were here when I came
And you'll be here when I'm gone
So don't be waitin' for love
'Cause I'll be waiting to ramble on

Headed for a heartbreak
Headed for a heartbreak

Darlin', don't wait up for me
Tonight I won't be home
You've become a stranger
I just got to be alone
Don't need nobody on my side
To dull the blade I'm on
So don't be waitin' for love
'Cause I'll be waiting to ramble on

Headed for a heartbreak
Headed for a heartbreak
Headed for a heartbreak
It's no mistake
Don't you think I can feel the pain?
I walk away to live again

[Solo]

Headed for a heartbreak
Headed for a heartbreak
(Don't make me hurt you)
Headed for a heartbreak
('Cause I know that you're)
Headed for a heartbreak

Don't you think I feel the pain?
