My Life’s an Open Book

My life's an open book, read it if you want
Feel free to browse around from page to page
Some scars and some regrets, memories I can't forget
The thrill of love and a few old high school dates
A photograph or two, two or three scrapes with the law
But I never spent a single night in jail

Yeah, my life's an open book, read it if you want
I'm pretty sure the novel wouldn't sell

My life's an open book, no skeletons around
No dark and scary secrets from my past
I couldn't hurt a fly, never had a DUI
And I don't believe true love just doesn't last
I like Chaplin on the screen, Mark Twain and Dr. King
Believe in heaven and I'm scared to death of hell

Yeah, my life's an open book, read it if you want
I'm pretty sure the novel wouldn't sell

My life's an open book, not some priceless masterpiece
Nothing that would take your breath away
A simple man just tryin' to live
Givin' all that he can give and I still don't understand why people hate
I try to always tell the truth and keep from bein' rude
Those are lessons that my daddy taught me well
My life's an open book, read it if you want
Yeah, my life's an open book, read it if you want
I'm pretty sure the novel wouldn't sell

Yeah, my life's an open book, read it if you want
I'm pretty sure the novel wouldn't sell
