El country, también conocido como música country o música campirana, es un género musical originario de Estados Unidos que se destaca por su estilo tradicionalista y sus letras que abordan la vida rural, el amor, la pérdida y la nostalgia por el pasado. Este género musical ha ganado popularidad en todo el mundo, especialmente en América del Norte y Australia.
La música country utiliza instrumentos como la guitarra acústica, el banjo, el violín, el bajo y la batería, y se caracteriza por su estilo melódico y su ritmo sincopado. Algunos de los artistas más influyentes en este género son Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson y Garth Brooks, entre muchos otros.
En años recientes, el country ha evolucionado y ha incorporado elementos de otros géneros como el rock y el pop, dando lugar a nuevos subgéneros como el country pop y el country rock.

Long were the nights
When my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps
Praying the floor won't fall through again
And my mother accused me of losing my mind
But I swore I was fine
You paint me a blue sky
And go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game
But you changed the rules every day
Wondering which version of you
I might get on the phone tonight
Well, I stopped picking up
And this song is to let you know why
Dear John
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I should've known
Well, maybe it's me
And my blind optimism to blame
Or maybe it's you and your sick need
To give love and take it away
And you'll add my name
To your long list of traitors who don't understand
And I'll look back in regret
How I ignored when they said: Run as fast as you can
Dear John
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
Dear John
I see it all now, it was wrong
Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played
By your dark twisted games when I loved you so?
I should've known
You are an expert at sorry and keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you've run dry have tired, lifeless eyes
'Cause you burned them out
But I took your matches before fire could catch me
So don't look now
I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town, ooh
Dear John
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress wrote you a song
You should've known
You should've known
Don't you think I was too young?
You should've known
