(Intro)
River of tears, flow on by.
Lord, see that "tortured" woman cry.
I'm glad she's no longer mine.
Don't leave her memory behind.

(Verse)
She was gonna' be my bride.
She said she loved me but she lied.
I'll tell the world, how she cheated.
Took all my money, and my pride.
Oh, I loved that woman, cain't ya see?
Look what my baby's done to me.
She broke my heart-n-made me cry,
When she ran off with, another guy.
Now our love is just, another sad song,
This country boy's, gotta sing.
Sad country songs, cheatin hearts-n-cheatin,
Just ain't this country boys, kinda thing.

(Chorus)
Yes our love is just, another sad song.
And this sad song makes me cry.
Yes another sad country song,
Put another tear in my eye.
Sad country songs, always make me cry.
River of tears, flow on by.
Please help me clear my cluttered mind.
Don't leave her memory behind.

(Bridge)
Well, I hear sad songs,
Are selling great this year.
I've got one I'd like the world to hear.
It's all about what my baby did to me,
Sad country songs and her memory.

(Verse)
And, I know those sad songs all too well,
Cause I'm the guy who sings... em'
But, when I'm on this stage alone,
It reminds me of my empty home.
Yes, I know those sad songs, yes I do,
I wrote a hit sad country song, all about you.
Now my royalty checks are rollin in,
Guess I got even in the end.

(Chorus)
River of tears, flow on by.
Lord, see that "tortured" woman cry.
I'm glad, she's no longer mine.
Don't leave her memory behind.

(Outro)
Sad country songs, always make me cry.
Sad country songs, always make me cry.
