Heartache Blues

It’s been 2 long years
Since you went away
You left me standing here
With nothing to say
You walked away from me
What a cruel, cruel game to play

I bagged up all your clothes
And I threw them away
In your old LP’s
Found a little Stevie Ray
I put a record on
And let the music play

I don’t need your reasons
And I don’t need to fight
Don’t need your lovin no more
To make me feel right
When Stevie plays
He takes my heartache blues away

I work hard all day
To be alone at night
Lock the doors, music on
Turn down the lights
I got to thank you darlin’
You made everything alright

Now I don’t need your reasons
And I don’t need to fight
Don’t need your lovin no more
To make me feel right
When Stevie plays
He takes my heartache blues away
