This is a true story:
I was headed up from Georgia,
On the way to Tennessee.
When she called me on my cell phone
And said that she was through with me.
She said, I found a new love, Darlin',
And he ain't no random man.
So, I said girl I'm goin' miss you,
But I guess I understand.
But there's somethin' you should know,
Before you leave and hit the road.
And I'll give you a hint,
It starts with paper and a pen.
And it'll probably take some time
To get you off my mind.
But the way you did me wrong
Will make for a damn good country song.
So, I wished her all the best
In her journeys through this life.
I said girl I hope your happy
With your new mister right.
And we can find some good in this,
It ain't all bad and wrong.
See you got a brand new victim,
And I've got a brand new song.
Yeah, there's somethin' you should know,
Before you leave and hit the road.
And I'll give you a hint,
It starts with paper and a pen.
And it'll probably take some time
To get you off my mind.
But the way you did me wrong
Will make for a damn good country song.
Get 'em Terry Lee
So, go and walk on out the door
Leave me here sad and cold
But, darlin' don't you be surprised
To hear my song on the radio.
'Cause when you called I let you know
Before you left and hit the road
I gave you a hint,
It starts with paper and a pen.
And girl ya know it took some time
To get you off my mind.
But the way you did me wrong
It sure made for a damn good country song.
Yeah, the way you did me wrong,
It sure made for a damn good country song.
I told ya woman
