Thirteen Valleys

Thirteen valleys he has wandered for her love
For he thinks he is the one that she dreams of
But her bed was made elsewhere
From the first day she got there
Now he wanders thirteen valleys cryin' out
Wanders thirteen valleys cryin' out

It could'a been me
I said it could'a been me
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

Thirteen valleys she has gone since the morning came
For she gave so much that only love remains
But her lover is long gone
With the money she sent on
Now he wanders thirteen valleys cryin' out
Wanders thirteen valleys cryin' out

It could'a been me
I said it could'a been me
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
Her broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

A broken heart will be forever
In the lifetime
A broken heart will try your love like none before
And you may fight or you may run
What was fast is now undone
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

Thirteen valleys lying silent in the haze
Filled with the promises and spirits that we raise
But the spirits all are ghost
Of the ones we hurt the most
They wander thirteen valleys cryin' out
They wander thirteen valleys cryin; out

It could'a been me
I said it could'a been me
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

It could'a been me
I said it could'a been me
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
