I begged her to stay and give it one more try
She said it's over, she said goodbye
Now I'm at this bar trying to wash away my pain
But every time I hear the jute bunks
The tears fall like rain
They ought to put warning labels on a sad country song
Harmful to the people
Harmful to your heart when you're left all alone
If you drink it, you'll start thinking
About 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 would listen to what they said anyway
But at least I'd be ready when the first sad song played
They ought to put warning labels on a sad country song
Harmful to your heart when you're left all alone
If you drink it, you'll start thinking
About love that went wrong
Love that went wrong
They ought to put warning labels
On those sad country songs
There's nothing harder on my heart
Than old Haggard and Jones
They ought to put warning labels
On those sad country songs
