Thats My Story
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
