Heartbreak Country Song            Jim Ryan, 1983


It used to be so easy to write a country song
With love around the corner, or left in the last town
Always met another when it was time to leave
With a short time to recover and a new song up my sleeve

    But there is always a new heartache
    Always someone gone
    Always feelin’ sorry
    In a heartbreak (heartbreak) country song

I knew we weren’t in Texas though you carried in a rose
A flash went through my body when you dropped it at my toes
The rose was soft and yellow, but the feeling was red hot
How can I sing about heartaches girl, they’re something I ain’t got

    But there is always a new heartache
    Always someone gone
    Always feelin’ sorry
    In a heartbreak (heartbreak) country song

    Yes,  there is always a new heartache
    Always someone gone
    Always feelin’ sorry
    In a heartbreak (heartbreak, heartbreak) country song

    Yes, there is always a new heartbreak !
