Helluva Heartache
Song Lyrics by: Michael Sean Perry

{c: Verse 1:}
Oh I’ve got some news I got around to kickin’ those Blues
Ain’t walking around no more staring at my boots
Ain’t spending all my time  thinking on what went wrong
There’s too much work to do And work’s starting at dawn

{c: Verse 2:}
The cowboy’s all say You’re a lot tougher than you look
That mustang threw you right off her back
And you ain’t even shook
You pick yourself off rock bottom ground like you been there before 
Cowboy’s job is never done and the daylight hours are short

{c: Chorus}
Working on a Helluva Heartache Is this what I got sober for?
Keeping in check the chances that I take 
This ole heart can’t take no more
Working on a Helluva Heartache
This job’s gonna be done one day

{c: Bridge}
Witness sunrise in the in the West Texas Sky
You’ll see glory punching through the darkness of night
I put those old memories upon a shelf
For this corral fence ain’t gonna mend itself

{c: Verse 2:}
Someday I’ll go back home find a gal settle down and cease to roam
Find some work of the kind that don’t hurt my bones
I won’t be spending all my time working under the hot sun
The day my heart is healed and my job here is done


{c: Chorus}
Working on a Helluva [Bm]Heartache Is this what I got sober for?
Keeping in check the chances that I take This ole heart can’t take no more
Working on a Helluva Heartache
This job’s gonna be done one day


Helluva Heartache

I'm an old player from the late '60s who took up writing a few years ago after a 50 year layoff, missed the music so now I write and record all my stuff. A regular "ONE MAN BAND", I play all the instruments and do all the vocal, keyboards and whatever else I have to play to make a tune. Hope ya find one ya like!!

I am a songwriter and musician, a recording artist and engineer. I am the proud father of two sons and a hard day-job working man!
Every song I record is 100% original with me playing nearly all of the instruments.
