Words and Music by David Michael King © 2011 (BMI)

I fell in love with a modern girl
A pair of headphones on her curls
In her hand, the latest gadgetry
I never really paid no mind
To what was goin’ on online
Until she broke my heart, virtually
It sure gave me a fright
To see my name in lights
On her cyberstage
Country songs don’t start this way
My Dear John letter’s on display
On Her Facebook Page.

She’d answer me with cell phone calls
Emails from the shopping mall
Text me if she might be running late
She used lots of fancy things
Even instant messaging
Now she says we don’t communicate
Tell your man “so long”
While downloading songs
Must be all the rage
What would Jimmie and Waylon say
If their heart got broke this way
On Her Facebook Page.

I miss the days when love affairs
Ended face to face
Someone started slamming doors
Even wreck the place
What became of honesty
Those good old-fashioned fights
‘Cause now that we’ve gone digital
Love sure megabytes.

So if you want to leave someday
Don’t do anything halfway
Throw your lover’s clothes out on the street
Give him back his diamond ring
You could try most anything
As long as you don’t break up with a Tweet
Some folks use their mouse
To end things with their spouse
In this modern age
I never thought our love would end
With her saying “Let’s unfriend”
On Her Facebook Page

Country songs don’t end this way
My Dear John letter’s on display
On Her Facebook
On Her Facebook
On Her Facebook Page.
