Lyrics
It’s been so long since I wrote a country song
Now that you’re gone, I feel one coming on strong
Our love died so young and now I’m so old
I’m so afraid to come in from the cold
Nothing aches as hard
As a broken country heart
Nothing aches as hard
As a broken country heart
Chug-a-lugging hope from a brown paper bag
Trying to figure out, should I zig, or should I zag
My sunken eyes sparkle when pigeons coo to me
I shower them with peanuts, they seem hear my plea
Nothing aches as hard
As a broken country heart
Nothing aches as hard
As a broken country heart
But long ago
When you wore your sundress
We went with the flow
Your hair fell in a beautiful mess
Nothing aches as hard
As a broken country heart
Nothing aches as hard
As a broken country heart
