Introduction
In an era where love songs come and go like whispers in the wind, George Strait delivers a message so powerful it feels less like a ballad and more like a commandment. His timeless hit, “Write This Down,” is not just another country tune—it’s a lyrical thunderbolt, a shockwave that tears through the heart of anyone who’s ever taken love for granted.
Think about it: How many times have we let the words “I love you” slip through silence, swallowed by pride, fear, or routine? Strait doesn’t just sing—he warns. He tells us plainly: don’t rely on memory, don’t trust tomorrow, don’t gamble with the fragile truth of love. Put it in ink. Etch it in stone. Make it undeniable.
When George Strait sings “Take a little note, to remind you in case you didn’t know”—it’s not a gentle suggestion. It’s a wake-up call. It’s as if the King of Country himself is grabbing us by the collar, demanding that we stop treating love like background noise and start treating it like the rare, fleeting miracle it is.
This song is more than melody—it’s survival. It exposes the brutal reality that love, when left unspoken, can vanish without warning. And in a world where relationships collapse faster than ever, Strait’s voice cuts through the static like a prophet of truth.
“Write This Down” isn’t sweet. It isn’t soft. It’s shocking in its urgency. It forces us to face the terrifying possibility that one day, the person we love might not be there to hear the words we never said.
So here’s the real story: George Strait didn’t just give us a hit song—he gave us a warning label for life. Ignore it, and you may lose everything. Obey it, and you might just save the one thing that matters most.
Because when the King tells you to write it down, you better believe—it’s not just advice. It’s an order.

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
