Said she was leavin'
Tore my heart in two
Now I'm listenin' to my favorite songs
In this empty room
Each verse a different story
Each singer knows my pain
Their words become my lifeline
In this heartache's reign
Leanin' on country
To get me through the night
These ol' songs keep me goin'
In this endless fight
From Hank to Garth
They know just what to say
Leanin' on country
To chase my blues away
Ol' Hank sang cheatin' heart
And how it makes you weep
It'll make you cry and cry
When you try to sleep
Here I lie in my bed
With tears upon my cheek
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
You've shown the truth to me
Leanin' on country
To get me through the night
These ol' songs keep me goin'
In this endless fight
From Hank to Garth
They know just what to say
Leanin' on country
To chase my blues away
Garth's thunder rolls
As the lightning strikes my heart
Her secrets now are told
My trust is torn apart
The storm rages on
As rain begins to pour
Lightnin' flashes in her eyes
You don't love me anymore
Leanin' on country
To get me through the night
These ol' songs keep me goin'
In this endless fight
From Hank to Garth
They know just what to say
Leanin' on country
To chase my blues away
George Jones stopped loving her today
And someday so will I
I'll keep these songs close to my heart
As I learn to say goodbye
Echoes of your laughter
Still linger in my mind
With each country ballad
I leave the past behind
Leanin' on country
To get me through the night
These ol' songs keep me goin'
In this endless fight
From Hank to Garth
They know just what to say
Leanin' on country
To chase my blues away
Leanin' on country
To get me through the night
These ol' songs keep me goin'
In this endless fight
From Hank to Garth
They know just what to say
Leanin' on country
To chase my blues away
