Tell Me Your Story

About This Song

I had this little idea. Kind of a Paul McCartney, Tom Waits-y kinda thing. My buddy Jedd Hughes came in with the end idea fully intact. The same key as my idea and everything. I love it when that happens.
Studs Terkel wrote a book called, "Working" that I love. I love to hear people's stories. Where they started out, what they've endured and survived, and how they got where they are today. These stories inspire a lot of my songs. And they drive me to be a better human being.

Lyrics

I’m only in town for one more day
My ride is leaving soon I can’t stay
Tell me
Tell me your story

I know I just met you it might seem weird
Have another drink baby have no fear
Tell me
Tell me your story
Tell me your story

Weren’t we all killing it just a couple of kids
Chasin’ round down the boulevards
Growing up getting by we would never deny
Who we are or what we came from
Tell me your story

The good, the bad, and the ugly ones
Rise and fall like the setting sun
Tell me
Tell me your story

When I’m gone baby don’t get sad
Break ‘em off some of the love we had
Tell me
Tell me your story

Weren’t we all killing it just a couple of kids
Messin’ round down the boulevards
Growing up getting by we would never deny
Who we are and what we came from

Tell me your story

I’m only in town for one more day
My ride is leaving soon and I can’t stay
Tell me
Tell me your story
