About the Song

Settle in, friends, and let’s take a journey back to a time when weathered hands held cassette tapes and sun-kissed faces danced in dusty honky-tonks. Today, we revisit a song that’s become a cornerstone of country music, a melody woven into the tapestry of lives well-lived: George Strait’s “Write This Down.”

This ain’t your flashy, high-octane country. No, “Write This Down” is a slow, steady burn, a gentle hand on the shoulder, a voice seasoned with wisdom and worn boots. It’s Strait at his finest, his honeyed baritone weaving a tale as simple as a porch swing, yet as profound as the stars above.

The song’s title itself whispers a promise. It’s a call to pause, to etch something onto the canvas of our memory before the wind of time carries it away. “Write this down,” Strait croons, his voice a familiar comfort like an old friend’s laughter. He doesn’t tell you what to write, just that you do. For in the quiet act of recording, we solidify the moments that matter, the lessons learned, the dreams that guide us.

The lyrics are a tapestry of everyday moments, woven with the thread of experience. We hear echoes of a father’s advice, the sting of a first heartbreak, the quiet joy of watching children grow. It’s a song that speaks to the soul, regardless of age or circumstance. Whether you’ve weathered life’s storms or are just setting sail, “Write This Down” finds a way to resonate.

It’s not a song that screams for attention, but one that whispers in the quiet corners of your heart. It’s a reminder to savor the simple things, to cherish the bonds that tie us together, to find meaning in the everyday. It’s a love letter to life itself, sung in the voice of a man who’s seen it all, and still finds beauty in the cracks.

So, open your heart, friends, and let Strait’s “Write This Down” wash over you. It’s a song for every season, a wisdom as timeless as the stars. Take pen to paper, or simply hold the melody close, and let it remind you of what truly matters. For in the end, what we leave behind isn’t the grand gestures, but the quiet moments, the whispered truths, the lessons etched in the heart. And that, my friends, is something worth writing down.

Now, press play, and let the King of Country himself guide you on this journey of reflection and remembrance. “Write This Down,” a song for the ages, whispered by a voice that speaks to the soul.

Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

I never saw the end in sight
Fools are kind of blind
Thought everything was going alright
But I was running out of time
‘Cause you had one foot out the door
I swear I didn’t see
But if you’re really going away
Here’s some final words from me
Baby, write this down
Take a little note to remind you in case you didn’t know
Tell yourself I love you and I don’t want you to go
Write this down
Take my words and read ’em every day, keep ’em close by
Don’t you let ’em fade away
So you’ll remember what I forgot to say
Write this down
I’ll sign it at the bottom of the page
I’ll swear under oath
‘Cause every single word is true
And I think you need to know
So use it as a bookmark, stick it on your ‘frigerator door
Hang it in a picture frame up above the mantel
Where you’ll see it for sure
Baby, write this down
Take a little note to remind you in case you didn’t know
Tell yourself I love you and I don’t want you to go
Write this down
Take my words and read ’em every day, keep ’em close by
Don’t you let ’em fade away
So you’ll remember what I forgot to say
Write this down
You can find a chisel, I can find a stone
Folks will be reading these words
Long after we’re gone
Baby, write this down
Take a little note to remind you in case you didn’t know
Tell yourself I love you and I don’t want you to go
Write this down
Take my words and read ’em every day, keep ’em close by
Don’t you let ’em fade away
So you’ll remember what I forgot to say
Write this down
Oh I love you and I don’t want you to go
Baby write this down
