I begged her to stay and give me one more try And she said it's over, and she said goodbye Now I'm at this bar, tryin' to wash away my pain But every time I hear the jukebox, the tears fall like rain
They oughta put warning labels on those sad country songs Harmful, to your heart when you're left all alone And if you're drinkin' you'll start thinkin' bout love that went wrong They oughta put warning labels on those sad country songs
They warn me 'bout cigarettes, whiskey and beer No one ever warned me about the music I hear I don't guess I would listen to what they said anyway But at least I'd been ready when the first sad song played
There's nothing harder on my heart than ol' Haggard and Jones They oughta put warning labels on those sad country songs
