Story To Tell

I grew up in the country

Six kids in a two room shack

Soon as I learned those three chords

I had a guitar on my back

I wanted to carry a football

That dream came and went real soon

Made it through two years of college

Thank god I could carry a tune

Nah nah yeah eh

Thank god I could carry a Tune

I've known love I've known pain

Got a little rusty in the rain

I've been lost I've been found

I left my mark on my little bitty town

Yeah raised me a few good babies

Raised me a whole lotta hell

And if I ever get to heaven

I'm gonna have a story to tell yeah

If I get there I'm gonna have

A story to Tell

I drank a lot of cheap whiskey

Shut down too many bars

Low as a dog in the valley

And high as the carolina stars

I've kissed some girls

Still missed some girls

Most beautiful you've ever seen

I gave my heart to a woman

Who didn't give a d**n about me

I've known love I've known pain

Got a little rusty in the rain

I've been lost I've been found

I left my mark on my little bitty town

Yeah raised me a few good babies

Raised me a whole lotta hell

And if I ever get to heaven

I'm gonna have a story to tell yeah

If I get there I'm gonna have

A story to Tell

It's got some parts

That'll make you laugh

And some that'll make you cry

Some pages I wish I could tear out

Well I ain't gonna tell no lie

'Cause it's a story of my life

No I can't preach or give no advice

I didn't do everything well

But man just live while you're alive

And try to have a story to tell

I've known love I've known pain

Got a little rusty in the rain

Yeah I've been lost I've been found

I left my mark

On my little bitty town

I raised me a few good babies

I raised me a whole lotta hell

And if I ever get to heaven

I'm gonna have

A story to tell yeah

If I get there I'll have

A real good story to tell

Nah nah yeah eh I'll have

A real good story to tell
