Leanin' on Country

I wanted to spotlight some of my key musical influencers and decided to write a song that would fit them.
Said she was leavin',
Tore my heart in two.
Now I'm listenin' to my favorite songs,
In this empty room.
Each verse a different story,
Each singer knows my pain.
Their words become my lifeline,
In this heartache's reign.
Leanin' on country,
To get me through the night.
These ol' songs keep me goin',
In this endless fight.
From Hank to Garth,
They know just what to say.
Leanin' on country,
To chase my blues away.
Ol' Hank sang cheatin' heart,
And how it makes you weep.
It'll make you cry and cry,
When you try to sleep.
Here I lie in my bed,
With tears upon my cheek.
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you,
You've shown the truth to me.
Leanin' on country,
To get me through the night.
These ol' songs keep me goin',
In this endless fight.
From Hank to Garth,
They know just what to say.
Leanin' on country,
To chase my blues away.
Garth's thunder rolls,
As the lightning strikes my heart.
Her secrets now are told,
My trust is torn apart.
The storm rages on,
As rain begins to pour.
Lightnin' flashes in her eyes,
You don't love me anymore.
Leanin' on country,
To get me through the night.
These ol' songs keep me goin',
In this endless fight.
From Hank to Garth,
They know just what to say.
Leanin' on country,
To chase my blues away.
George Jones stopped loving her today.
And someday so will I.
I'll keep these songs close to my heart,
As I learn to say goodbye.
Echoes of your laughter,
Still linger in my mind.
With each country ballad,
I leave the past behind.
Leanin' on country,
To get me through the night.
These ol' songs keep me goin',
In this endless fight.
From Hank to Garth,
They know just what to say.
Leanin' on country,
To chase my blues away.
Leanin' on country,
To get me through the night.
These ol' songs keep me goin',
In this endless fight.
From Hank to Garth,
They know just what to say.
Leanin' on country,
To chase my blues away.
