Someone Told My Story Lyrics - Merle Haggard

I played a brand-new record on the jukebox 

And I scarcely could believe the song I 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 

And then it told of how you've done me wrong 

Someone told my story in a song 

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
