Lyrics

That's How The Story Begins
©Jeffrey C. Ashbaker 10-10-2015
It's a short drop, from where I stand
To where I touch the ground
But it's, so hard to get up, once I'm down
It's a long way, from anywhere
To the outskirts of this town
It's not lost of me, that I was lost when found

And it's a, straight shot to Paradise
From the muddy Mississippi
But it, takes a while to reach, the other side
And it's a, quick drive from L.A.
To the shores of the Pacific
And here or there, the stars come out at night
------------------------Chorus-----------------------
Up and down it goes, all around it throws
Caution into the wind
In and outta sight, if in doubt ask why
That's how the story begins
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's a road through old New Mexico
That's seldom often travelled
A blacktop, through the white sands, rolling by
The children of the childless son
Have a father of all time
And a mother of a spaceship in the sky

Now you, gotta wonder if what I say
Is what I understand
Cuz there's, really nothing left to alibi
If I, use my heart to speak my mind
The honest always listen
But no one, will hear me if I lie

--Repeat Chorus--

---Bridge---
You know I love you
And you love me too
-----------------
--Repeat Chorus--
