The Storyteller

Lyrics

[Verse 1] From the start of time First man to start a fire Or wonder about the stars Any man to lose a fight From a hard right When the whiskey went too far Every cowboy on a Texas plain How he stole a blue-eyed heart away Was a long ride where he'd spin a tale or two And yeah, that's a storyteller A damn good storyteller [Verse 2] From the start of time How God designed To leave that empty space For every man alive To try to find Some meaning in the blanks Shakеspeare wrote thе plays And Van Gogh did it with paint And Granddad did it working on the lines Yeah, that's a storyteller A damn good storyteller [Refrain] Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh [Verse 3] Yeah, wars been fought and battles won 'Cause words can kill just like a gun Or be as sweet as honey on the vine All the man's life ever comes to Everything he ever walks through Is a trail of memories that he leaves behind To the next storyteller Yeah, the next storyteller Yeah, the next storyteller Yeah, the next storyteller [Refrain] Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh
