That's my story and i'm stickin' to it

By: jimmy buffett, jay oliver

1989

Kindergarten

King of excuses

Sister mary mojo so hard to trick

What can i say

Dog ate my homework

I could play the game

They love me anyway



Alibis, angles and tales from the tropics

Come to my mind so easy and quick

Spacemen from mars stole all of my money

But i could play the game

They love me just the same



Chorus:

That's my story and i'm stickin' to it

That's my life and all that i've got

Call me a liar, call me a writer

Believe me or not

Believe me or not



Women always know before you tell them

The younger girls so easy to trick

What's that word? i think i'm eccentric

But i can play the game

They love me anyway



Revelations

Love when they happen

Wizards and lizards i choose and i pick

In a hundred years this all won't matter

How you play the game

They love you just the same



Chorus:

That's my story and i'm stickin' to it

That's my life and all that i've got

Call me a liar, call me a writer

Believe me or not

Believe me or not



I will play the game

I will stay the same

I will play the game

Believe me or not

Chorus:

That's my story and i'm stickin' to it

That's my life and all that i've got

Call me a liar, call me a writer

Believe me or not

Believe me or not



Chorus:

That's my story and i'm stickin' to it

That's my life and all that i've got

Call me a liar, call me a writer

Believe me or not

Believe me or not



I will play the game (i will play the game)

I will stay the same (i will stay the same)

I will play the game (i will play the game)

Again and again (again) and again



I will play the game (i will play the game)

I will stay the same (i will stay the same)

I will play the game (i will play the game)

Again and again (and again)
