Tom T. Hall - Story Of Your Life Is In Your Face lyrics

I was sittin' down in Hong Kong in a bar Picking and a singing my way west with my guitar I talked to some old sailor just to pa** away the time And he said something that stuck in my mind He said the story of your life is in your face it's written there in little subtle lines The story of your life is in your face What's written on your face has been heavy on your mind He touched my face with his hands old and frail They were scared and weather beaten by the oceans he had sailed He said it's written in your face the times that you've been hurt And he said mighty is the power of the skirt And he said the story of your life... ( guitar ) He said the lines say you're a travelin' man I said that ain't no revelation seein' where I am He said in this ole world our paths may never cross again Just remember what I'm tellin' you my friend He said the story of your life... There are some things we cannot seem to hide We sometimes lie about them cause it satisfies our pride There are some things we can't escape no matter how we try Cause it's written in our face and in our eyes And he said the story of your life... And he said the story of your life...
