“Trey Calloway’s “Left Hand” hits hard. It’s a beautiful, honest song about regret and watching love slip through your fingers. That moment when you realize you should have said those vows is one a lot of people know too well. This song is a reminder to love now, and to keep that love.” – Missy Wolf / Center Stage Magazine“‘Left Hand’ is refreshingly rooted in the emotional clarity of classic country, where regret doesn’t need to be overexplained to be felt. Trey Calloway leans into the ache of what might have been, with a smart balance of nostalgia and momentum, a subtle reminder of how effective country music can be when storytelling takes the lead.” – Michelle Osterhoudt / Lead Feature Writer, The Country Note

“‘Left Hand’ pairs the heavy, raw sadness of a classic 90s country breakup song with a high-energy, modern rhythm. My new producer, Phil O’Donnell, perfectly captured that bittersweet mix with an upbeat groove that brings to life the regret of a love that never happened. It’s all about wishing you had a gold band on that never ‘should have left’ hand. I poured my heart into making this record and can’t wait for y’all to hear it!” – Trey Calloway  “Left Hand” Lyrics
Verse
There should be a forerunner in the driveway
Half a bottle of wine in the door of the fridge
Should be on the front porch on a Friday
Playing fetch with the dogs, talking about

But instead I go out, take a shot
At the bar trying to dodge all your friends
Should be us tying the knot
Instead I’m tying one on again


Chorus
Should have been a day in June, something
borrowed, something blue
12 cans on the back of a Cadillac
You should have been in white ‘bout to make
your daddy cry
At the smile with the photographs, looking
back
Looking back I would’ve changed
I’d have never walked away
You should have a new last name and a halo
cut
And I should have a gold band on my never
