Lyrics
The Stories I Could Have Told
There’s the story of Ole Joe and all the funny jokes he told
And how people would gather ‘round just to get a laugh
But how the rest of the story went I don’t quite remember it
Because after a line or two I’d move on to something new
Oh the stories I could have told that the world will never know
He details I could have penned that the world won’t be hear’n
Because I’d write a line or two then get back to what I was doing
Oh the world will never ever ever know the stories I could have told
Then there was Betty Lou and all the quirky things she’d do
Those odd ball clothes she’d wear with those multi-colored hairdos
But how the rest of the story went I don’t quite remember it
Because after a line or two I’d move on to something new
I’d be driving in my car or in bed sound asleep
Standing on a ladder painting my house when inspiration came to me
I’d get a line or two then said I’ll get back to you
But of course you can tell how this song is going I wasn’t going to
