Someone Told My Story

(Merle Haggard)



I played the brand new record on the jukebox

And I scarcely could believe the song I've heard

It told of how you left me for another

It was almost like I'd written every word.



Someone told my story in a song

The lyrics told of happiness and home

Then it told of how you've done me wrong

Someone told my story in a song.



--- Instrumental ---



The writer must've seen the way you done me

For he told it all and never missed a line

He told of swinging doors and the jukebox

And he even knew I almost lost my mind.



Someone told my story in a song

The lyrics told of happiness and home

Then it told of how you've done me wrong

Someone told my story in a song...
