Lyrics
I've got a lot of stories to tell you about
This one I think you've never heard
What Emma did when she found out
Her lover broke his word
This next one's 'bout an uncle who had lots of dough
He bought anything that he pleased
We always wondered what he owed
Turns out so did the police
These are just stories in my mind
Of joy and hurt
They've been filling up my head over time
Take them for what they're worth
A different tale is next and something from back when
A girl I dated broke the law
And how she got her life back again
She did time and got strong
This happy story I don't think you've heard before
A friend who had a change of luck
He found gold underneath his porch
When it got hit by a truck
These are just stories in my mind
Of joy and hurt
They've been filling up my head over time
Take them for what they're worth
You'll see why I tell you this last one with a grin
About how tales can grow with you
With countless anecdotes to spin
You'll be a story, too
These are just stories in my mind
Of joy and hurt
Those we keep are like windows on our lives
To see just what they're worth
