lyrics

Everybody Has A Story

I was sitting alone in an empty church on the back row
Lost in a thousand yard stare through a stained glass window
The preacher sat down, said do you wanna talk
Time and a listening ear is all I've got
I said thanks but there ain't much to tell
He said son I'm not buying what you’re trying to sell cause

Everybody has a story
A little tragedy, a little glory
Somebody they’ve loved, somebody they’ve lost
A life changing bridge either burned or crossed
Got a blank page there before you
And no one can write it for you
Everybody has a story

I talked him through the highs and lows of my life
Demons I’d chased and how they’d come with a high price
I said I ain't even been home in 3 weeks
I think my poor wife is done with me
Finally I just broke right down and cried
He said go on home you've got chapters still to write

Everybody has a story
A little tragedy, a little glory
Somebody they’ve loved, somebody they’ve lost
A life changing bridge either burned or crossed
Got a blank page there before you
And no one can write it for you
Everybody has a story.

Bridge
Headed for the door I saw an old news story framed there on the wall
Crash claims lives of kids and wife of preacher in Grand Falls
The quote on his picture said I faced the choice of giving up
Or helping others through this crazy life that's made up of

A little tragedy, a little glory
Somebody they've loved somebody they've lost
A life changing bridge either burned or crossed
Got a blank page here before me
And no one can write it for me
Everybody has a story
A little tragedy, a little glory

Everybody has a story.
