Bobby Bare - The Essential Bobby Bare

The Town That Broke My Heart

Mister, I want a room at the top of your hotel
I want to say goodbye to the town I know so well
I want to ride that elevator to the top
I want to say goodbye to the town that broke my heart

I came here to make it big, I made my girl a vow
I really made it big, alright, I'm a big ole loser now
My kite just never caught the wind, my fire was just a spark
She left me here in the town that broke my heart

So I went to take just one more look
At the town that broke my heart
Now that she's gone, I'll be leaving too
And I don't know where to start

Yeah, these old streets I brought my dreams
And watch them fall apart
I lost it all in the town that broke my heart

So mister, I want a room at the top of your hotel
I want to say goodbye to the town I know so well
I want to ride that elevator to the top
I want to say goodbye to the town that broke my heart
