Heartbreak Avenue

[Verse 1]
She was just sixteen
With a pack of cigarettes and a pawn shop ring
She wanted things to turn out like she'd seen
Right there on that silver screen

[Verse 2]
So she hit the road
With her thumb in the air and a ring in her nose
She had a tattoo of a butterfly 'cause 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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
Then the sun came shinin' bright
And true love in the mornin' just doesn't feel 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]
Hey girl, where are you going to?
Say that you'll be the queen of Heartbreak Avenue

[Bridge]
So you say that you don't know how
Your broken dreams just drag you down

[Chorus]
Hey girl, where are you going to?
Say that you'll be the queen of Heartbreak Avenue

[Outro]
Hey girl, where are you going to?
Hey girl
