VERSE 1
Our story ended by the jukebox
In a Carolina barbeque
You were wearing another guy's John Deere coat
Singing bye-bye love 'n hello blues
Standing at that crossroad
Tears filled up my eyes
But those tears turned to a smile
When I realized ...... that I should ......
CHORUS
Thank you for breakin' my heart
You can never tell what's around the bend
It might be a lover who might be your friend
So, thank you for breakin' my heart
I knew I'd find where I belong
Where the future's bright and loving is strong
VERSE 2
Then I drove down to a restaurant
To get a little bite to eat
And a vision in a cocktail dress
Made my brain overheat
I swear, it was Faith Hill in a Dolly wig
Taking my order from me
She scrambled my eggs with only a smile
She's the best looking woman I've ever seen

BRIDGE
I used to be like an old hound dog
Scratching the wrong tree
But, wedding bells will be ringing soon
With a honeymoon at Waikiki ..... so........
REPEAT CHORUS

Loved listening to this song.

The instrumentals are good, the voice is good too. I feel the premise of the song is good but the story is incomplete.

to find someone new is the best way to heal a broken heart. instruments were very good. it is always better to look forward than looking back.

Very roots alt country tune with some great well written lyrics and some very tasty slide and dobro work. Interesting take on love gone south ... could be Hank Jr. in an acoustic mode.

This is a country song with a retro feel which is good to hear once and a while. It has a good hook that really grows on you as the song goes on. Nice guitars.

I love it! It reminds me of Little Feats first album. Faith Hill in a Dolly wig? Brilliant

This was quite good. The song had a nice feel and it was well played. I thought the song flowed nicely through the parts well. Also the dynamic change between the verses and the chorus was quite tasteful and effective. I especially liked the guitar work. The guitar harmonies added a nice dimension to the work--the vocal harmonies were solid as well. I liked the transition you did at about 2:30 in the song. Bringing it down there set things up nicely for later in the song.

Unique lyric and song idea. Nice country style and laid back.

Great OCMS feel... liked the banjo fills... some nice band like harmonies

Fairly nice--makes me think of Doug Kershaw...kind of a Cajun vibe.

Brilliant lyrics and a good hook for a chorus.

Love the intro - great harmonies great sentiment. Love this song. Thank you

Good lyrics, the chorus is catchy, found myself singing along with it half way through!!
