Dear country music
We first met when I was just a kid
You went everywhere that me and daddy did
In his old truck
Dear country music
You helped me through those awkward teenage years
And talked me into drinkin' that first beer
I turned it up
You live in my heart and in my speaker
You've been my best friend, you've been a teacher
In a field or in a bar
In the backseat of a car
Yeah, high or low
You rode right with me through it
Dear country music
You made Becky think that I was cool
When I pressed play to sing along with you
She fell in love
Dear country music
I just wanna take the time to thank you now
Your sad words got me over her somehow
When we broke up
You live in my heart and in my speakers
You've been my best friend, you've been a teacher
In a field or in a bar
In the backseat of a car
Yeah, high or low
You rode with me through it

Dear country music
Made me wanna learn to play this old guitar
You helped me write my first song from the heart
Yeah, I loved you from the start
I hope you get this letter wherever you are
