We used to laugh on the schoolyard grass,
Trading jokes in the back of class.
Then you changed up, drifted away,
Like summer fading into a fall day.
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, it hurt when you walked away,
But something helped me find my say…
(Chorus)
Yeah, you might’ve ruined my day,
But country took the pain away.
When life tries to go sideways,
Those songs still do their part.
Got my boots, that b**t,
And a tune that lifts my feet —
You left and made your play,
But country ain’t broke my heart.
(Verse 2)
Saw you laughing with a brand-new crew,
Acting like I never mattered to you.
Yeah, it stung for a little while,
Till a country song brought back my smile.
(Pre-Chorus)
One good line, one melody,
Fixed what cracked inside of me.
(Chorus)
Yeah, you might’ve ruined my day,
But country took the pain away.
When life tries to go sideways,
Those songs still do their part.
With the band, that b**t,
And a chorus on repeat —
You moved on your own way,
But country ain’t broke my heart.
(Bridge)
Friends can change and drift apart,
But country stays close to my heart.
When life feels heavy, hits too hard,
Those songs come ridin’ like a guard.
(Final Chorus)
Yeah, you might’ve ruined my day,
But country took the pain away.
Still singin’ anyway,
Like a kid with a country start.
Got the truth in the rhyme,
Gets me smilin’ every time —
You left a scratch, not a scar,
’Cause country ain’t broke my heart.
