She said goodbye for the last time, and I ain't heard a word from that girl, so I'm gonna sit here, nurse a cold beer, ease her out of my mind with a little Merle. I'm gonna crack one open, crank one up, love's gone to hell, so to hell with love, gonna need three chords to tell the truth, only thing that helps getting over you is a steel guitar, long necks on a neon bar, yeah, the only way this heart is getting through this is good old ice-cold country music, man, they get me straight and wittily, they always bring me back from the brink, she ain't been gone long, but I know she's long gone, so I think I'll just stay here and drink. I'm gonna crack one open, crank one up, love's gone to hell, so to hell with love, gonna need three chords to tell the truth, only thing that helps getting over you is a steel guitar, long necks on a neon bar, yeah, the only way this heart is getting through this is good old ice-cold country music.

Good old ice-cold country music.
