I cam in as the sun came up
She glared at me over her coffee cup
She said now where you been so I thought real heard said,
I fell asleep in that hammock in the yard
she said you don`t know it boy, but you just blew it
I said well that`s my story and I`m stickin` to it
Chorus
Well that`s my story (that`s my story), that`s my story (that`s my story)
No I ain`t got a witness and I can`t prove it
But that`s my story and I`m stickin` to it
Well I got that deer in the headlights look
She read my face like the cover of a book
She 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 you could see right through it
And I stuttered, well, that`s my story and I`m stickin` to it
Chorus
Bridge
Time comes when a wise man knows that the best thing that he can do is just
look her in the eyes and beg for mercy and face the bitter truth
Well, honey, me and the boys played cards all night
There wasn`t no hanky panky not a woman in sight
I know I shoulda called and baby, I`m real sorry
But if you`d get a cellular phone then you won`t have to worry
You know how much I love you darlin`, and I`m ready to prove it
And that`s my story and I`m stickin` to it
Chorus
Tag
I ain`t gonna do a thing darlin` unless you approve it
`Cause that`s my story and I`m stickin` to it
