If Heartaches Were Nickels Songtext
von Gov’t Mule

I wish you could see me
All broken down this way
But even if you saw me, baby
I know I still couldn′t make you stay

I couldn't make you stay
You know about the high cost of loving
There′s something you're gonna have to pay
You're gonna have to pay

Woman like you needs fine things
Woman, I knew it right from the start

Woman, I don′t have much to offer, baby
Just this so broken heart
Just this broken heart
But if heartaches were nickels
I wouldn′t be here crying in the dark


If wine and pills were hundred dollar bills
I might keep you satisfied
And if broken dreams were limousines
Oh, you know I might take you for a ride

But all I can do is think of you
And wish you were by my side
Oh, if heartaches were nickels
Then I'd be the richest fool alive

Oh, wine and pills were hundred dollar bills
I might keep you satisfied
And if broken dreams were limousines
Oh, you know I might take you for a ride

But all I can do is think of you
And wish you were by my side
Oh, if heartaches were nickels
Then I′d be the richest fool alive

Yes, I would
Even richest fool alive
Oh, yeah

Richest fool alive

Oh, baby

Richest fool alive
