I need to hear a melody
That's sad with three part harmony
A bar room jukebox symphony
I need to hear a melody

I need to hear a song that's blue enough
to break a heart in two
After what you put me through
I need to hear a song that's blue

Yeah make it lonely
When you do it
And I'll know somebody else out there's been through it
Instead of hurting by myself
Man I'll just sing along
I need to hear a loser crying
Songs about a love that's dying
Lyin' cheatin' to the bone
Three chord stone cold country song

I need to hear a drinking tune
Cowboys howling at the moon
In some swingin' ol' saloon
I need to hear a drinking tune

Yeah make it lonely
When you do it
And I'll know somebody else out there's been through it
Instead of hurting by myself
Man I'll just sing along

I need to hear a loser crying
Songs about a love that's dying
Lyin' cheatin' to the bone
Three chord stone cold country song

Yeah country song
Three chord stone cold country song
