Posted a version of this one a few years back but had a chance to do it again with Terry's famous pedal steel. Man he can make that thing cry. If you're in the mood for a Country & Western over-the-top cry-in-your-beer in three-four time song, mash the play button. Hope you enjoy!

IF HEARTACHES WERE DOLLARS
Steve Adamczyk
31 May 2011
CHORUS:
If heartaches were dollars I'd be a rich man
Sporting black diamonds on both of my hands
I'd buy me some bruises, to go with these scars
And drive down to Lonely in a Cadillac car
Thought I had found me, the love of my life
Fixing to ask her, to be my sweet wife
She said that she loved me, ever so true
Next breath she's leaving, for somebody new
CHORUS
BREAK
This story is older, than the white sands of time
Redder than rubies, hard as a dime
It's easy to say that tomorrow's in view
But it hurts like the devil when it happens to you
CHORUS & OUT
