I Was Told Lyrics by Joe Mungovan

Way Down South (artist: Joe Mungovan)

2016

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Hey
How you going way down south?
Do you still feel like you’re missing out?
And where’s your new apartment?
Are your new friends just like the friends you’ve always wanted?
[Chorus]
‘Cause you ate your words, and I swallowed mine
If you cannot tell I’m not doing so fine
‘Cause your phone was off when I tried to call
But hey, it’s the thought that counts
At least that’s what I was told
[Verse 2]
And what’s your favourite café?
Who’s your neighbour?
Did you like the drawing that I gave you?
And what’s the price of a train ride to your favourite place on the southern side of the city of lights and your hopеs and dreams?
You know it’s so far away from me
[Chorus]
‘Cause you atе your words, and I swallowed mine
If you cannot tell I’m not doing so fine
‘Cause your phone was off when I tried to call
But hey, it’s the thought that counts
At least that’s what I was told
Oh
[Verse 3]
Hey
How you going way down south?
Do you still feel like you’re missing out?
And where’s your new apartment?
Are your new friends just like the friends you’ve always wanted?
[Chorus]
‘Cause you ate your words, and I swallowed mine
If you cannot tell I’m not doing oh so fine
‘Cause your phone was off when I tried to call
But hey, it’s the thought that counts
At least that’s what I was told
