Lyrics
That's Another Story
(C) 2010, 2012 All words and music by Warren Hein
Called my ex just yesterday
Told her the bad news
For once I left her speechless
And that's damned hard to do
She tried to fake a laugh
Then called me a liar
Had to hang it up
When she started all that cryin'
Bad timing I guess
But that's another story
Then I called my ma
She still kicks at 92
Told her she was right
'bout them cigarettes and booze
She lectured 'bout the afterlife
I said I wasn't scared
She sounded kinda worried
That I'm not quite prepared
But then again
Yeah that's another story
That's another story
There's too damn much to tell
I've driven through East Jesus
Stopped just north of Hell
Always hated questions
When straight answers will do
But lately I'm not so fond of truth
But then again
Yeah now, now
That's another story
Called my boy clock said late
More ways than one
Sure I'd been drinkin'
He nailed me on the rum
He's always been the good one
So for a change I listened
Talk about coincidence
He named his new son Vincent
I told him I was proud
And I missed him
The phone got real quiet
'cuz that's another story
