You oughta hear the song I heard today
It's the saddest one I've ever heard 'em play
It's all about a love that slipped away
Oh, you oughta hear the song I heard today

You oughta heard the man that sang the song
I know somebody must have done him wrong
Every word he sang was hurtin' strong
Oh, you oughta heard the man who sang the song

I wish that you could hear the melody
You oughta see the chills it put on me
Every note brought back a memory
Oh, I wish that you could hear the melody

La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

I wish I knew the one that wrote the lines
He must of been a hurting in his mind
I know he's done some crying in his time
I wish I knew the one who wrote the lines

You oughta hear the song I bought today
It tells about my life in every way
Tonight I'll go to sleep and let it play
Oh, you oughta hear the song I bought today
