C#
I ain't wasting no paper or any ink in this pen
                                    F#
I ain't dusting off an old record, crying watching
it spin
C#
I ain't touching my guitar, won't wear my heart
on these strings
                                         F#
Won't waste a line, a perfect rhyme or a single
melody on
C#
You
                                      F#
You ain't worth three chords and the truth

Chorus:
           F#                  C#        G#
I bet you thought that I'd be drinking alone
        A#m
at the bar
          F#                   C#              G#
I bet you thought that I'd be driving by your house
in my car
         F#                  C#               G#
Bet you thought that I'd be thinking I ain't ever
       A#m
moving on
       F#              C#
I bet that's what you want
         G#                         C# F#
But you don't deserve a country song

No, I ain't calling my momma, least
not to talk about you
I ain't in and out of that neon,
you don't get no Neon Moon
What Hurts The Most has broke my
heart about a million times before
Now when I hear You'll Think Of Me,
I don't think of you no more

Chorus:
I bet you thought that I'd be drinking
alone at the bar
I bet you thought that I'd be driving
by your house in my car
Bet you thought that I'd be thinking
I ain't ever moving on
I bet that's what you want
But you don't deserve a country song

You don't get to be the one they'll think
it's about
You didn't give me anything that's worth
writing down
You don't get to tell your friends
I can't let you go
No, you don't get to hear your name on the radio

Chorus:
I bet you thought that
I'd be drinking alone at the bar
I bet you thought that
I'd be driving by your house in my car
Bet you thought that
I'd be thinking I ain't ever moving on
I bet that's what you want
But you don't deserve a country song
Oh, a country song
Oh, you don't deserve a country song, mm
Yeah, I bet that's what you want
But you don't deserve a country song
