"Stories To Tell" lyrics

I bought my first floral shirt off a thrift rack
Then I bought five more and then I called my friends
I said hey there fellas let's get in the van
Let's drive out of town
And be in a band

So then I started moving
Then I started grooving
Then I learned you didn't have to know what you were doing
Fake it til you make it was the name of the game
Until faking turned to living out a whole dang dream
You see we sing from the heart
Play that way too
And I promise you all, that's what I'll always do
Everyone I love's standing in this room
Everyone I love's just singing this tune

Cause we might get lost
We'll definitely grow old
We'll but never get tired of the thrill of it all
If we get lucky
We'll have a great story to tell

First time that I ever rocked a sold out show
I just kept on thinking how could this be so
Funny guy like me
From north of Milwaukee
Finally believing
That it's good to be me

Cause when the crowd starts matching me note for note
There's power in my fingers
And I know this is home
Love all around
It's filling up my soul
I love ya for always getting out of control

We might get lost
We'll definitely grow old
But we'll never get tired of the thrill of it all
If we get lucky
We'll have a great story to tel

Drummers don't really get to sing in the band
But tonight's your lucky night
'Cause here I am
I'm looking at you people
I'm trying not to cry
You're the living definition of
"Enjoy the Ride"

Lately I've been thinking
The life that I've been leading
Country Road take me home
I've been singing that song since the day I was born
Now Country Road take me home
Smiling each day but looking for more
Now Country Road, take me home
It's the song I sing as I travel the world
Now Country Road, take me home
Man it feels good to be where I belong

Before this family
I was nothing but a ramblin' man
Now I stand here
In awe of all I have
Can I get a hallelujah
Sing it from the rafters to ya
The good, bad
I understand
Lord I'm a lucky man
Cause we're all lucky, man
Let's Go
