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 everytime I hear the jukebox, the tears fall like rain



Chorus:

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



Chorus



There's nothing harder on my heart than ol' Haggard and Jones

They oughta put warning labels on those sad country songs.
