That's the Recipe for a Heartache Lyrics
That's The Recipe For A Heartache - Hank Thompson & His Brazos Valley Boys
Take a little cheatin' here
And a little cheatin' there
Stay out late with a new date
Take a little cheer
With another round of beer
That's my recipe
For a heartache
Well tell the little
Gal you're with an old pal
Who's celebratin'
His new name sake
It's not a new birth
But a gal's that's worth
Another chance
On the heartache
An old girlfriend happens in
Your office without warning
The good times start
With an old sweetheart
And you don't get
Home till morning
You can't deny
Your wife's reply
Your lipstick
Isn't on straight
You're gonna
Hear a holler
About the red
On your collar
That's a recipe
For a heartache
You take a slow train
And not a jet plane
Because you wanna
Go on the Pullman
There's a gal you
Gotta see in apartment
You really thing that
You've pulled a cool one
Coming home from a
Trip and your wife has a lip
Waitin' at the
Door all puckered
You gotta a real recipe
For a heartache to be
When you crawl in
Bed all tuckered
If your wife is leery
When you say deary
I gotta make
A fast connection
Assure your pet
That it's the jet
With turbine fuel injection
When you took Lorain
Down the country lane
And your wife caught
You in the cane break
You couldn't explain
About raising cane
And that's a recipe
For a heartache
So live it up don't
Give it up
If misery is
Your favorite cup
Just lead this life
And lose your wife
That's the recipe
For a heartache
