[Verse 1]
When I was young I never cared for country songs
And the honky-tonks, they all seemed strange to me
But honey since you've gone, now I realized I'm wrong
Gotta get your heart good and broken before you sing along
[Chorus]
So thank you for teachin' me to love country songs
For makin' me so sad I wanna sing along
When I hear that fiddle start, I can dance all over my broken heart
And I hardly care that you don't love me like you used to do
No, I hardly care that you don't love me like you used to do
[Verse 2]
You'll never understand me like Buck Owens does
And I'll never love you quite like I love him
Where's your fancy suit in technicolor blue?
You wouldn't win a fight, not with a single Buckaroo
[Verse 3]
You'll never understand me like Dwight Yoakam does
And I'll never love you quite like I love him
With his hat down in his eyes, Honey please don't even try
It's a miracle the way he wears his jeans tighter than mine
[Chorus]
So thank you for teachin' me to love country songs
For makin' me so sad I wanna sing along
When I hear that fiddle start I can dance all over my broken heart
And I hardly care that you don't love me like you used to do
No, I hardly care that you don't love me like you used to do
[Verse 4]
So boys, bring out the guitar and the mandolin
We'll have another round and then we'll start again
I know you've done me wrong and you've already moved on
But thank you for teachin' me to love those country songs
Thank you for teachin' me to love country songs
