That’s My Story

[Verse 1]
I came in as the sun came up
She glared at me over her coffee cup
She said, "Where you been?"
So I thought real hard and said
"I fell asleep in that hammock in the yard"
She said, "You don't know it boy, but you just blew it"
And I said, "Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it"

[Chorus]
That's my story
Oh, that's my story
Well, I ain't got a witness, and I can't prove it
But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it

[Verse 2]
I got that deer-in-the-headlight look
She read my face like the cover of a book and 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 so you could see right through it
And I stuttered, "Well that's my story and I'm stickin t-t-to it"

[Chorus]
That's my story
Well, that's my story
I ain't got a witness, and I can't prove it
But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it

[Bridge]
You know the time comes when a wise man knows
The best thing that he can do is just look her in the eye
And beg for mercy and face the bitter truth

[Verse 3]
Well, honey, me and the boys played cards all night
There wasn't no hanky-panky, not a woman in sight
I know I should called, and baby I.. I'm really sorry
But get a cellular phone and then you won't have to worry
You know how much I love ya, darling, and I'm ready to prove it
And that's my story and I'm sticking to it

[Chorus]
That's my story
Oh, that's my story
Well I ain't got a witness and ya know I can't prove it
But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it

[Outro]
You know I ain't gonna do a thing, darling, unless you approve it
And that's my story and I'm sticking to it
