warning labels

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
