(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
