Another Heartbreak Song
Tales of Heartbreak: A Country Ballad Journey
Lyrics
I guess I'll write another heartbreak song
I am going to create another song about heartbreak.
Another angel went and done me wrong
Someone (referred to as an angel) has hurt me again.
The story's old but this time it's mine
Although the story of heartbreak is common, this time it's my personal experience.
It's my turn to follow that long white line
It's my opportunity to go through the emotional journey represented by the "long white line."
She took the keys to my old ford
The person took the keys to my old Ford car.
Right along with the key to our front door
She also took the key to our front door, indicating the end of our relationship.
She took my dog but left her cat
She took my dog but left her cat, a symbolic representation of selective choices in leaving.
Ran off with my favorite cowboy hat
She ran off with my favorite cowboy hat, another personal item taken away.
I guess I'll write another heartbreak song
Expressing the repetition of heartbreak, prompting the creation of another song.
Another angel went and done me wrong
Reiteration that someone (an angel) has caused pain.
The story's old but this time it's mine
Emphasizing the personal nature of the heartbreak story this time.
It's my turn to follow that long white line
Reaffirming the opportunity to go through the emotional journey symbolized by the "long white line."
The day she left I cried and cried
On the day of the breakup, the narrator experienced intense sadness.
Put on the best of old Ray Price
Listening to Ray Price's music, possibly for solace or as a way to connect with similar emotions.
Them Crazy Arms were spinnin' round
Reference to Ray Price's song "Crazy Arms," indicating the influence of music on the narrator's emotions.
I drank until I hit the ground
Consuming alcohol heavily to cope with the emotional pain.
I guess I'll write another heartbreak song
Expressing the cycle of heartbreak and the need to create another song about it.
Another angel went and done me wrong
Reiterating that someone (an angel) has caused the narrator pain.
The story's old but this time it's mine
Stating again that the heartbreak story is personal this time.
It's my turn to follow that long white line

The next day I went to work

Found out she'd stolen my best shirt
The woman not only left but also stole belongings, intensifying the sense of loss.
That damn woman went and robbed me blind
Expressing frustration and shock at the extent of betrayal and loss.
She took my house and half of my mind

I guess I'll write another heartbreak song

Another angel went and done me wrong
