STORIES

Written by: Rick Dinsmore

"STORIES"

HE SAID SON
ARE YOU GOIN? MY WAY
I?M JUST HEADED
DOWN THE HIGHWAY
IT DON?T REALLY MATTER I SUPPOSE
IT LOOKED LIKE HE?D BEEN STANDING THERE
FOR QUITE A SPELL
YOU COULD TELL
HE?D BEEN SLEEPIN'
IN HIS CLOTHES

THERE WAS NOTHING
I COULD PLACE
THERE WAS SOMETHING
ABOUT HIS FACE
THAT SOMEHOW
STRUCK A CHORD
DOWN DEEP IN ME
AND THOUGH HE SMELLED LIKE GIN
I SAID COME ON CLIMB IN
I?M HEADED SOUTH
AND I COULD USE SOME COMPANY

CHORUS
SO WE DROVE ON DOWN THAT TEXAS HIGHWAY
AND HE TOLD ME ALL ABOUT HIS EARLY YEARS
HOW HE?D DECIEVE ?EM, THEY?D BELIEVE HIM
HOW HE?D LOVE ?EM THEN HE?D LEAVE ?EM
HE TOLD ME STORIES
LIKE TO BURN THE DEVIL?S EARS


I?VE BEEN HERE BEFORE HE SAID
WAS BACK BEFORE THE WAR HE SAID
I EVEN HEARD I HAD A KID I NEVER KNOWED
IT HAD JUST BEGUN TO RAIN
WHEN HE SAID MY MOTHER?S NAME
I DON?T KNOW HOW I HELD IT ON THE ROAD

I THOUGHT BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD
AND A WOMAN WHO DID ALL SHE COULD
TO RAISE A RESTLESS BOY CHILD ALL ALONE
I THOUGHT OF HOW I PRAYED WAY BACK THEN
THE DAY WOULD COME WHEN I WOULD HAVE
A STORY TELLIN? FATHER OF MY OWN


REPEAT CH..
