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.
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 sticking to it.
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 you could see right through it.
And I stuttered.
Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
That's my story.
Oh, that's my story.
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 sticking to it.
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.
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 have called and baby,
I'm real sorry.
Let's get a smartphone,
then you won't have to worry.
You know how much I love you, darling.
I'm ready to prove it.
Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
That's my story.
Oh, that's my story.
Well,
I ain't got a witness and you know I can't prove it,
but that's my story and man,
I'm sticking to it.
You know,
I ain't gonna do a thing,
darling,
unless you approve it.
Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
