Lyrics
I've been thinking about you again
Cause I've been drinking and thinking about what might have been
Light another cigarette, no I ain't there yet.
I'm getting ready to embrace this one regret.
Chorus
You're my part time heart ache (No benefits)
You're my part time heart ache (4 hour shift)
You're my part time heart ache (A couple of nights per week)
You're my part time heart ache (You help me make ends meet)
The autumn leaves take me back in time.
To that lonesome stretch of highway where we would ride.
The memories grow thin...then that song plays again.
Stirring thoughts of you...will it ever end?
Chorus
I thought we were holding the keys to open the world.
But it wasn't meant to be (Did we throw it all away?)
No it wasn't meant to be (Was there nothing more to say?)
Chorus
