THAT'S MY STORY

- written by Lee Roy Parnell & Haseldon



I came in as the sun came up

She glared at me over her coffee cup

She said now where have you been

I thought real hard and said

Sleep in that hammock honey out in the yard

She said you don't know it but you just blew it

I said well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it



CHORUS



That's my story (that's my story)

that's my story (that's my story)

No I ain't got a witness I can't prove it but

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



Well I got that deer in the headlights look

She read my face like the cover of a book she said

Don't expect me to believe all that static

Cause just last week I threw that hammock in the attic

My skin got so thin you could see right through it

I said that's my story and I'm stickin' to it



REPEAT CHORUS



Time comes when a wise man knows

that the best thing that he can do

is just look her up in the eye and beg for mercy

and face the bitter truth



Well honey me and the boys played cards all night

Wasn't no honky tonk wasn't a woman in sight

And I know I shoulda called and baby I'm real sorry

Let's get a cellular phone then you won't have to worry

You know how much I love you

and I'm ready to prove it

Cause that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.



REPEAT CHORUS

TAG



I ain't gonna do a thing

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