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. Na, na. Yeah, 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 a little bitty town. Yeah, raised me a few good babies. Raised me a whole lot of 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 miss some girls, Most beautiful you've ever seen. I gave my heart to a woman who didn't Give a damn 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 a little bitty town. Yeah, raised me a few good babies. Raised me a whole lot of 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, But I ain't gonna tell no lie. 'Cause it's the story of my life. Now 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. I got a little rusty in the rain, Y'all. I've been lost, I've been found. I left my mark on a little bitty town. I raised me a few good babies. I raised me a whole lot of 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. Na, na. Yeah, we'll have a real good story To tell.
