HEARTBREAK U.S.A.
(Harlan Howard)


Kitty Wells - 1960
Norma Jean - 1966
Molly Bee - 1966


The harbor's empty, my love has gone
With aching heart I face the cold and lonely dawn
And till the tradewinds bring him home to stay
I'll live in Heartbreak USA

Don't let those foreign girls get your heart in a whirl
Think about me all the time and remember you're mine
Don't forget your sweetheart while you're away
Back home in Heartbreak USA

(Instrumental Break)

Sometimes I'm lonely and time stands still
And I wonder if you feel the way I always will
So darling write me letters every day
In care of Heartbreak USA

Don't let those foreign girls get your heart in a whirl
Think about me all the time and remember you're mine
Don't forget your sweetheart while you're away
Back home in Heartbreak USA
