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