Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wonder who is waitin' for me
At the end of Heartbreak Road
Hope that she'll be tender
Someone I can know
[Verse 2]
Heartaches just don't, don't last forever
But it's a lonely road
A road that we all must travel
Once before we go
[Verse 3]
I believe that love's a good teacher when you're in it
Dear Lord, and even if it don't work out
You ain't gon' never understand it till you've been all down in it
And Lord, and find out what it's all about, that's alright 'cause
[Verse 4]
Heartaches just don't, don't last forever
But it's a lonely road
A road that we all must travel
Once before we go
[Verse 5]
I believe that love's a good teacher when you're in it
And even if it don't work out
You ain't gon' never understand it till you've been all down in it
And find out what it's all about, that's alright 'cause
[Verse 6]
Heartaches just don't, don't last forever
But it's a lonely road
A road that we all must travel
Once before we go
