lyrics

Country Songs

When I was young I never cared for country songs
and the honky tonks they all seemed strange to me
but honey since you’ve gone now I realized I’m wrong
gotta get your heart good and broken before you sing along

So thank you for teaching me to love country songs
for making me so sad I wanna sing along
when I hear that fiddle start I can dance all over my broken heart
and I hardly care that you don’t love me like you used to do
no I hardly care that you don’t love me like you used to do

You’ll never understand me like Buck Owens does
and I’ll never love you quite like I love him
where’s your fancy suit in technicolor blue
you wouldn’t win a fight not with a single Buckaroo

You’ll never understand me like Dwight Yoakam does
and I’ll never love you quite like I love him
with his hat down in his eyes honey please don’t even try
it’s a miracle the way he wears his jeans tighter than mine

So thank you for teaching me to love country songs
for making me so sad I wanna sing along
when I hear that fiddle start I can dance all over my broken heart
and I hardly care that you don’t love me like you used to do
no I hardly care that you don’t love me like you used to do

So boys bring out the guitar and the mandolin
we’ll have another round and then we’ll start again
I know you’ve done me wrong and you’ve already moved on
but thank you for teaching me to love those country songs
thank you for teaching me to love country songs

about

Karen Jonas Fredericksburg, Virginia

The Restless (3.3) is “a stunning collection of dreamy and dark alt-country confessionals; a deep exploration of love and vulnerability from one of Americana’s most hopeless romantics” (Holler.Country). As Parklife Mag DC put it, “the voice of country music in the DMV is a big, bright voice that belongs to Virginia native Karen Jonas.” ... more
