It's easy to find country love songs. After all, love is country music's favorite topic. You know the ones – they're all about how everything is going just right and the boy gets the girl and they live happily ever after. But what about the songs where things don't work out, those where the happily-ever-after couple breaks up?

Country music might love a love song, but it really loves a breakup song. When Patsy Cline immortalized "Crazy," written by Willie Nelson, confusion dripped from her every word. Why was she still in love with this jerk when she knew from the start that he'd just use her and dump her? In "D.I.V.O.R.C.E.," Tammy Wynette spells out all the words that relate to the breakup so her young son won't understand quite yet and have his heart broken, too. Then there's Keith Urban, still awake at 4 a.m., trying to be stoic, but warning his ex that although she might have moved on to someone else's arms, "You'll Think of Me." 

Not all of the country's breakup songs are tearjerkers. Some fairly sizzle with anger, while others impart more subtle revenge. Consider George Strait's "Give It Away." It's clear that his soon-to-be ex-has had enough of the way he treated her and she just wants out when he asks her, "Now, honey, don't you even want your half of everything?" Then, of course, there's Miranda Lambert's "Kerosene," where she stokes her fantasy of burning down her cheating boyfriend's house.

This list of some of the top country done-me-wrong breakup songs is arranged alphabetically. If you click on a title, you can download the song. If you're looking for the best of the best, grab some tissues, put your feet up and have a listen. Or if you're more in a "Give It Away" mood like George Strait's fictional ex, pour a celebratory shot of bourbon and check out the Top 20 Country Best Anti-Love Songs.
