I love country music, especially the sad songs. So, in other words, almost all of them. Some country musician, maybe Hank Williams, once said all you need for a good country song is three chords and a broken heart. I believe that to be true and I have compiled a list of my favourite lost love country songs, all of them real and guaranteed to bring a tear to your eye. Sorry for the few that are not politically correct.
