“The Song She Wrote Instead”
Country Callback • Sung by Country Cate
This song is a country callback (V2) for Randy Travis' I Told You So. But this ain't no lovey dovey response. 🎶 Lyrics and music inspired by timeless country storytelling. Lyrics: [Verse 1] Suppose you called me up tonight and told me that you loved me And suppose you said you wanted to come home And in this hypothetical situation, you finally learned your lesson And thought I wasn't better off alone [Verse 2] You'd tell me what I wanna hear like I'm all you ever wanted But that wasn't what you said when you went astray And if you came here with that bullshit, you know I'd see right through it Can't erase all those mistakes from yesterday [Chorus] I told you so, oh, I told you so I said if you kept cheatin I was gonna pack and walk right out the door I told you so, but you had to know But now I've found love in myself in you won't ever wake up to my face again [Verse 3] If you got down on your knees and begged I wouldn't even listen No I wouldn't even turn my music down And if you want that old time feelin, you're huntin in the wrong woods You can take your cheatin' heart back in to town [Verse 4] If you told me that you missed me so and you can't live without me And you'd do anything on earth to win me back Or you never run around on me and I'd be your one and only Your charm can't make up for all you lack [Chorus] I told you so, oh, I told you so I said if you kept cheatin I was gonna pack and walk right out the door I told you so, but you had to know But now I've found love in myself in you won't ever wake up to my face again [Outro] And now I've got some things to do so leave on your shoes and go back to your new friend
