INTRO
Lend me your ear, and draw *a bit more near
I'll tell you the true story of
The First Country Heartbreak Song

VERSE 1 AP
AP Carter lived in a valley poor
Poor Valley really that's it's name
Pocket full of dust, (but) a head full of tunes
Singing fine songs was his game
(He) sought every sound, down roads so long 
Hoping that one day he would write
The first country heartbreak song

VERSE 2 SARAH
His wife Sarah sang with a voice so pure 
But he would chase a different sound
Sarah gripped his sleeve, eyes begged him stay
Empty (nights) on music's lonely ground 
Then she met Coy Bayes, (Their)love was so strong
Twas the start of what would become the first country heartbreak song

VERSE 3  BREAKUP
Bibles thumbed like drums, "MARRIAGE IS FOR LIFE"
(Cold) harmony shot from every mouth
Families lied to Coy, then they lied to her
Sent him up north and her down south
Hid all their mail, said it was wrong 
Told them that their love had become the first country heartbreak song 

VERSE 4 RADIO 
 Coy twisted the dial through his mountain fog,
A low voice pierced the darkened skies.
(He) heard his Sarah sing "for my Coy Bayes"
"I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes"
Fist bumped the desk—(his) chest pounded strong 
Gave him hope his/their love was not
The first country heartbreak song

VERSE 5 REUNION
As Coy turned the key, her voice deeply burned
Fire went down Coy Bayes' spine.
"Mother why'd you lie? (I’m) gonna go get her”
He Sped his car down the border line
He married her. (Their) love grew lifelong
"they didn’t let their love become
The first country heartbreak song

VERSE 6  GOOD OL’ AP
When you sing a tune in the house he built
Sing a (verse) for good old AP
(He) raised the roof with song. (his) heart laid in each beam
And Built us a porch of harmony
It cost him his girl so we can sing along
How could he know his love would become
The first country heartbreak song?

How could he know his love would become
The first country heartbreak song?
