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
