Best Damned Breakup Song

by David Snyder

V1

I want to thank you
for all the times you passed out
in my yard
and threw up on my truck
I want thank you for everything you did
that made my life so hard
and being the queen of bad luck
and when you slept with my friend
you helped me see the end
it was the only thing you did right
cause you finally made me go to church
where I got down on my knees
and begged Jesus
to help me see the light

CH

And now
I see you did nothing
you did nothing wrong
cause I found a girl who's nothing like you
she's sweet, and pretty and strong
She drinks apple juice, and runs a yoga group
and I'm right where I belong
But the best thing is the new gold record you gave me
and girl you know it's dedicated to you
and I hope one day you'll sing along
yeah I hope one day you’ll sing along
and I call it
yeah I call it
My best damned breakup song 

V2
 
I want to thank you
for all the times you lied 
right into my eyes
and ripped a hole right through my heart
I want to thank you for everything you stole
that made me fall apart
but that Grammy, girl, is gonna heal my broken heart

Bridge

And I got sick with you
But I know that I can beat it
and when I cross that bridge you know
I must repeat it

CH

Oh, cause now I know that you did nothing
you did nothing wrong
Cause I found a girl who's nothing like you
she's sweet, and pretty and strong
She drinks apple juice, and runs a yoga group
and I'm right where I belong
But the best thing is the new gold record you gave me
and girl I know it's dedicated to you
and I hope one day you'll sing along
yeah I hope one day you’ll sing along
and I call it
yeah I call it
My best damned breakup song 
And it’s written just for you

BEST DAMNED BREAKUP SONG

A Walking Country Song
By David Snyder

V1

Throwin’ chairs off of a Nashville roof
Cause I’m drinkin’ little 100 proof
You know I’m grinning in a baseball cap
I wear it backwards cause you like it like that
Cause I ain’t classy but it’s how I roll
I’m the one they never could control


CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song

V2

Got a mullet in my mugshot yo
I’ll post some bail and then I’ll skip parole
I’m wearing handcuffs but I’m breaking  loose
Then I’m gonna love you while I’m wearing my boots
Sometimes it seems like I can do no wrong
No matter what I do they always sing along

CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song


Bridge

Yeah I drink too much
Yeah I talk too much
But girl you’re so damn smokin’
That you’re hot to the touch

CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song


V3

I was caught buck naked but I'm not in jail
I was caught buck naked and I'm raising hell
And I was born spoiled rotten
If you can't tell

CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song

Outro

And I can write a hit
Write it like this
And every song sounds the same
But I’m staying strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song
Cause girl I was born a walking country song
Cause girl I was born a walking country song
