Heartaches by the Dozen
Every word, written by AI.
Intro
(Upbeat 4/4 country shuffle with crying pedal steel guitar and twin fiddles, 10 seconds)
Verse 1
I sat down last night to count up every tear I've cried
And every single promise that you broke and then denied
Number one was when you told me that you'd always stay
Number two was when you turned around and walked away
Chorus
Now I'm counting heartaches by the dozen every day
Watching all my happy memories slowly turn to grey
For every time you break my heart, another number grows
Yeah, I'm counting heartaches by the dozen, heaven knows!
Verse 2
Number three was when I saw you walking down the street
Holding hands with someone else and smiling so sweet
Number four was when you looked at me and passed me by
Left me standing in the shadow with a lonely sigh
Chorus
Now I'm counting heartaches by the dozen every day
Watching all my happy memories slowly turn to grey
For every time you break my heart, another number grows
Yeah, I'm counting heartaches by the dozen, heaven knows!
Instrumental Interlude
(15-second classic 1950s pedal steel and twin fiddle solo over 4/4 shuffle beat)
Chorus
Now I'm counting heartaches by the dozen every day
Watching all my happy memories slowly turn to grey
For every time you break my heart, another number grows
Yeah, I'm counting heartaches by the dozen, heaven knows!
Outro
Yes, I'm counting heartaches by the dozen...
Count 'em up, count 'em up, heaven knows...
(Fiddle and steel flourish, classic 1950s country shuffle fade out)
How this country song was made.
“Heartaches by the Dozen” is an AI-generated Country song with vocals, 2:41 long. It was created in Octa from one short text description: the lyrics, melody, vocal performance, arrangement and mix were all generated from that idea, then published by @Randy Packard to the Octa community in September 2026.
Storytelling comes first: clear words, an acoustic guitar or pedal steel under the voice, and a chorus that says the title so you can sing it back. The lyrics on this page are the exact words the AI wrote and sang for this track.
