Heartache Central Time lyrics

Heartache Central Time` MAY be an Amy Ray song. I don`t actually
know much of anything about it, except that the sole version I have
is a studio version, featuring organ, piano, bass, and drums, in
addition 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 from
the EP sessions. Or, possibly, from a live-in-the-studio radio
broadcast, 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 makes
pinning a stylistic date down difficult, but Amy`s lead vocal
suggests (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` heart

off 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` heart
