Take your Pain to Country

I took my pain to country
'Cause there was no where else to go
I've been around the whole wide world
With you weighing on my soul

First I went to California
But I was freezing in the sun
Santa Monica's ferris wheel
Without you 's just no fun

The Pacific Ocean reminded me
Of the colour your eyes
And all those stars in Malibu
Can't brighten my night skies

So I hopped the train through the Rocky Mountains
And screamed your name away
It echoed in the treetops
And came right back to stay

So a President's wife I'll be
In Washington D.C.
If I can't have you
I'll have power for a fee

But all those black and navy suits
Tuxedoes aren't my style
I kissed George Bush upon the cheek
And stayed just for awhile

And I took my pain to country
To Nashville, Tennessee
Hoping to find a strong cowboy
With arms to carry me

On every second corner
There's a bar stool with my name
Your 'Queen of Hearts' is like Delta Dawn
But drinking fine champagne

I'm singing in a band with all cowboys
And the strangers they all toast
To your songs I sing with a melody
For the man I loved the most

So take your pain to country, baby
To Nashville, Tennessee
When the love of your life locks your heart
And throws away the key.
