BILLY BROKE MY HEART AT WALGREENS (AND I CRIED ALL THE WAY TO SEARS)
Ruby Wright - 1965


(Pete Drake's "Talking Guitar":
Billy broke my heart at Walgreens
and I cried all the way to Sears)

Over a drink with those who think young
I got the sad news
While having lunch, Billy walked in
Told me goodbye
He wanted his ring back, for he told me
There'd be no wedding this year
Billy broke my heart at Walgreens
And then I cried all the way to Sears

(Pete Drake's "Talking Guitar":
Billy broke my heart at Walgreens
and I cried all the way to Sears)

I hear my boss still laughin' at me
But I don't blame him
Silly of me for asking of him
May I go home?
Well this could be the funniest
Heartbreak of the year
Billy broke my heart at Walgreens
And then I cried all the way to Sears

What made the pain more painful
I hurt each step of the way
Traffic lights and fears
Weeped lots of tears, getting in my way
I'd fall down, then I'd get up
While slippin' on my tears
Billy broke my heart at Walgreens
And then I cried all the way to Sears

I'd fall down, then I'd get up
While slippin' on my tears
Billy broke my heart at Walgreens
And then I cried all the way to Sears
