Lyrics - Heartache Central Time by Indigo Girls

"
Heartache
Central
Time"
MAY be an
Amy
Ray song.
I don't actuallyknow much of anything about it, except that the sole version
I haveis a studio version, featuring organ, piano, bass, and drums, inaddition to
A&
E.
I don't know when it was recorded, but
I'm guessing- only guessing, mind you - that it
MAY have been an out-take fromthe
EP sessions.
Or, possibly, from a live-in-the-studio radiobroadcast, such as
WRFG's "
What the
Folk," or
WREK's "
Live at
WREK."
It's a silly kind of country-and-western style song that makespinning a stylistic date down difficult, but
Amy's lead vocalsuggests (to me, anyway) that it may be from around 1985-6.
Heartache
Central
Time
Thought you were one who wouldn't run
Who wouldn't do me wrong
But the song that you were singing
Was the same old heartache song
You treat me fine and you wined and dined
And
I believed you when you said"
I love you, babe," but your only aim
Was to get me in your bed
Now
I don't even like you no more
But
I can't get you off of my mind
Baby, you've got me livin' in
Heartache
Central
Time(
Heartache
Central,
Heartache
Central,
Heartache
Central
Time)
Anytime is a hurting time
With a hurting heart like mine
God knows
I'd get over you if only
I could find
A way to get my hurtin' heartoff
Heartache
Central
Time
Remember last
September
When you looked into my eyes
I should have known that the love you'd shown
Was nothing more than lies
I fell for you and
I know it's true
That
I should have stopped myself
But my lonely heart was too alone
To hurt all by itself
Now
I don't even like you no more
But
I can't get you off of my mind
Baby, you've got me livin' in
Heartache
Central
Time(
Heartache
Central,
Heartache
Central,
Heartache
Central
Time)
Anytime is a hurting time
With a hurting heart like mine
God knows
I'd get over you if only
I could find
A way to get my hurtin' heartoff
Heartache
Central
Time.
