She told me that she needed her space
As she pulled out the drive
Goodbye
She told me that she'd love me forever
But that was a lie, just a lie
To break this heartache fever
I know just what I need
And it's an age-old remedy
Sad country songs and straight tequila
Chase the lonely down every time
Yeah, she gone and done me wrong
And I hate being alone
In the middle of a cold and lonely night
Bartender, play some old George Jones
Keep 'em coming till her memory's gone
Lord knows sometimes the only healer
Is sad country songs and straight tequila
There's something 'bout the bend of the strings
And a shot of Patrón
Gets the movin' on
Oh, it makes me wanna get out this chair
And ask somebody to dance
Take her by the hand
And spin around and 'round
That old dance floor
Ain't that what we all came here for?
Sad country songs and straight tequila
Chase the lonely down every time
Yeah, she gone and done me wrong
And I hate being alone
In the middle of a cold and lonely night
So bartender, play some old George Jones
Keep 'em coming till her memory's gone
Lord knows sometimes the only healer
Is sad country songs and straight tequila
Oh, yeah
Oh, play it all night long
One more time, yeah
Oh, yeah
Sad country songs and straight tequila
Chase the lonely down every time
Oh yeah, nothing kills the sting
Like three chords and a drink
Under neon lights
Under neon lights
Bartender, play some old George Jones
Keep 'em coming till they yell, "Last call"
Lord knows sometimes the only healer
Is sad country songs and straight tequila
Right now
The only healer
Is some sad country songs
And straight tequila
