THE FIRST COUNTRY HEARTBREAK SONG V12 (HappyRon Version)
100 percent human written by HappyRon 185 BPM

Lend me your ear,
Draw a little near,
I'll take you back a hundred years to the first country heartbreak song.

VERSE 1
A.P. Carter lived in a valley poor,
Poor Valley really was its name.
Pocket full of dust, songs filled up his soul
Singing with fam’ly was his game
Drove across the hills, finding mountain tunes,
Down old roads that went on oh so long.
Left his wife alone, chasing his big dream,
Hoping that one day he'd write the first country heartbreak song.

VERSE 2 (IN D)
His wife Sarah sang with a voice so pure,
But he was off from town to town.
Sarah gripped his sleeve, eyes begged him to stay
Sad nights that brought her poor heart down
As in every song, came a kind young man,
Couldn't pick guitar but love beat strong.
His name was Coy Bays, wouldn't leave her side -
'Twas the start of what would be (become) the first country heartbreak song.

VERSE 3 (IN C) BREAKUP
Families shouted out, “Marriage is for life!”
Cold harmony from every mouth.
Bibles thumped like drums; judgment handed down
They took Coy up north and her down south.
Parents stole their words, rewrote their love tale,
Hid all of their mail, said it was wrong.
Told these sweethearts their souls had moved on,
Made them think their love was now the first country heartbreak song.


BREAK IN C :
They made them think their love was now the first country heartbreak song

VERSE 4 (IN D)
Coy’s radio pierced through his mountain fog,
Sweet Sarah's voice lit up his skies.
A Carter Family song, sung for her Coy Bayes -
“I’m Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes.”
Fire ran down his spine, “Mother, why’d you lie?”
“I’m gonna go back to where I belong.”
Sarah in his arms, never left his side -
It twasn’t their love that became the first country heartbreak song


VERSE 5 (IN C) AP
When you sing a tune, you stand on what he built
So sing a verse for our good old A.P.
He raised the roof with song, his heart laid in each beam,
And built us a porch of harmony.
But his lonesome call still haunts every note,
He lost his girl so we can sing along.
Did he think each night of her blue eyes?
And did he think that his love would become the first country heartbreak song?
