Broken Heart Songs

I like broken heart songs but this ain't one of ‘em
I didn’t step to the mic just to tell you I'm down
I can hear the blues behind me and I'm out running ‘em
With love on my brain and my feet on the ground

I like precious memories but I’m not faking one
Cause it's gonna get messy if we're speaking our minds
If I don't make a promise then I won't be breaking one
And if I break your heart, you don't gotta break mine

There are so many things to be angry about
Maybe we could take just a quick time out
There's always somebody suffering in the room next door
Grab ‘em by the hand, pull ‘em out onto the dance floor

What you call country music sounds more like Bon Jovi
It used to piss me off, now it kinda turns me on
Just because you knew me, doesn't mean you know me
Just because I’m right, that doesn’t mean you're wrong

There are so many things to be angry about
Maybe we could take just a quick time out
There’s always somebody suffering in the room next door
Hands start clappin' when the going gets tough
This is what happens when you turn me up

I don't wanna argue, I don't want no altercation
I’ll pretend it's Christmas and wish upon a star
I'll pour a glass of whiskey and wait for inspiration
And if it don't show up, I've still got my guitar
