Everybody Got A Story

There's a lady down in New Orleans

Walking the streets trying to make the scene

She's a runaway

Everybody got a story to tell

Mr. President you're just a man

You've got your problems and I understand

You've got your cross to bear

Everybody got a story to tell

Across the tracks in a three room shack

There's a daddy lying on his back

He's drunk again

Baby's crying ain't got no milk to drink

(Chorus)

Everybody got a story to tell

Everybody got a song to sing

And if you listen real close

You'll know what I mean

'Cause you've got a story to tell

Down on 6th Street where the young folks hang out

There's a preacher trying to tell them what it's about

But they just laugh it off

While the preacher man cries

Susie Jane left school today

Told her family that a baby is on the way

But everything is gonna be alright

The doctor will take care of it all

(Repeat Chorus)

Like a ship that was lost at sea

That was my like but Jesus rescued me

Now I know the way

And I got a story to tell

Now you may feel like a castaway

But this Jesus can change your night to day

Won't you let Him do it now

You're gonna have a story to tell

(Repeat Chorus)
