Story Behind The Song

A story about a country musican playing in a Honky Tonk, tuning in to other peoples sadness and realizing that we'll never really know most peoples UNTOLD STORIES and heartaches

Song Description

Peoples personal sadness we are unaware of

Lyrics

I plaid my old guitar till three this morning
In some ole honky tonk, on some dirt road
Had a shot or two of jack, and a few Budwisers Uh huh
Then I sang a slow sad song and watched the tears begin to flow

Over in the corner, a woman she's crying
Probably lost a lover, hell I don't know
There's a tear in that man's eye and I start to wonder
How many stories go untold

You see, that woman she'll never tell me why she's crying
How she's abused, misued, and afraid to go back home
And that man with the tear in his eye
After 38 years, his wife just died
So many stories go untold,


Lead

As I sing my slow sad song, bartneder, he's smiling
Tries to hide the pain he feels inside
There's tears in the eyes of the waitress
Her Johnny won't be marching home today

So many stories out there go untold
So many town heros we'll never know
So I'll sing my songs, and wonder when the tears begin to flow,
So many stoires go untold

And that wiatress with the tears in her eyes
She received the flag for you and I
So many stories go untold
