Darius Rucker - Story To Tell lyrics

I grew up in the country Six kids in a two room shack Soon as I learned those three chords I had a guitar on my back I wanted to carry a football That dream came and went real soon Made it through two years of college Thank God I could carry a tune Nah nah, yeah-eh, thank God, I could carry a tune I’ve known love, I’ve known pain Got a little rusty in the rain I’ve been lost, I’ve been found I left my mark on my little bitty town Yeah, raised me a few good babies Raised me a whole lotta hell And if I ever get to heaven I’m gonna have a story to tell, yeah If I get there, I’m gonna have a story to tell I drank a lot of cheap whiskey Shut down too many bars Low as a dog in the valley And high as the Carolina stars I’ve kissed some girls, still missed some girls Most beautiful you’ve ever seen I gave my heart to a woman Who didn’t give a damn about me I’ve known love, I’ve known pain Got a little rusty in the rain I’ve been lost, I’ve been found I left my mark on my little bitty town Yeah, raised me a few good babies Raised me a whole lotta hell And if I ever get to heaven I’m gonna have a story to tell, yeah If I get there, I’m gonna have a story to tell It’s got some parts that’ll make you laugh And some that’ll make you cry Some pages I wish I could tear out Well I ain’t gonna tell no lie ‘Cause it’s a story of my life No I can’t preach or give no advice I didn’t do everything well But man, just live while you’re alive And try to have a story to tell I’ve known love, I’ve known pain Got a little rusty in the rain Yeah I’ve been lost, I’ve been found I left my mark on my little bitty town I raised me a few good babies I raised me a whole lotta hell And if I ever get to heaven I’m gonna have a story to tell, yeah If I get there, I’ll have a real good story to tell Nah nah, yeah-eh, I’ll have a real good story to tell
