Lyrics

Tequila used to be so fun
When I was younger I was twenty-one
I could really throw 'em back then
Someone take me to back when

Now when I have more than two
I’m on the floor and I’m calling you
Bartender gave me no shit
Guess he could tell I was really going through it

Honky Tonk Angels circle me now
And are here to help me out

I’ve been hurt, so have you
Here’s a quarter put it in the juke
And watch me fall apart
Country music breaks my heart

Gettin’ married is like gettin’ the gold
And she proposed to you in Mexico
Never told you 'bout her drinkin' back then
Now you wish you could go way back when

She was drowning in your love
And started reaching for the harder stuff
Couldn’t bring her any farther
Chose the whiskey over holy water

and Honky Tonk Angels circle her now
And are here to help you out

I’ve been hurt, so have you
Here’s a quarter put it in the juke
Box and I will try not to cry
When it plays “Don’t Close Your Eyes”
Don’t look away
It’s the right time and place
To just fall apart
Country music breaks my heart

Buddy if you can count to three
I think you're qualified to dance with me
In the light of the neon
I see something we can both agree on

I’ve been hurt, so have you
Here’s a quarter put it in the juke
Box and I will try not to cry

I’ve been hurt, so have you
Here’s a quarter put it in the juke
And watch me fall apart
Country music breaks my heart
Country music breaks my heart
Country music breaks my heart
