Lyrics
Everybody?s Got A Story
Young man sitting by the side of the road
Shoulders hunched like they just carried a load
No doubt thinkin? ?bout the seeds he sowed
In the days when he wasn?t so free
Old man watching me drink lemonade
Baggy eyes covered by a pair of shades
Wonder if he?s thinkin? ?bout mistakes he made
Or is he just wonderin? ?bout me
Everybody?s got a story
Everybody?s got a past
Everybody finds a little happiness
Everybody hopes it will last
Madeleine is dancing at the junior prom
Brand new dress and a date named Don
Telling her the band is playing their song
And wondering how easy she?ll be
Don?s flunking out and his future is dim
Madeleine has had about enough of him
Hands everywhere and that lecherous grin
She?s planning how to slip away free
Everybody?s got???.
I?ve got the blues and I don?t know why
Laying on the grass ?neath the clear blue sky
Writing little songs about the world goin? by
And wonderin? if they?re all about me
Everybody?s got??.
Repeat and fade
