Everybody Got a Story LyricsThere'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
'Cause everybody got a story to tell
Across the tracks in a three-room shack
There's a daddy lying on his back
Oh, he's drunk again
Baby's crying, ain't got no milk to drink
Everybody's got a story to tell
Everybody's got a song to sing
If you listen real close
You'll know what I mean
'Cause you've got a story to tell
Yeah, yeah
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's on it's way
But everything is gonna be alright
The doctor's gonna take care of it all
Everybody's got a story to tell
Everybody's got a song to sing
If you listen real close
You'll know what I mean
'Cause you've got a story to tell
Everybody's got a story to tell
Everybody's got a song to sing
If you listen real close
You'll know what I mean
'Cause you've got a story to tell, yeah
Like a ship that was lost at sea
That was my life, 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
Everybody's got a story to tell
Everybody's got a song to sing
Everybody's got a story to tell
Everybody's got a song to sing
Everybody's got a story to tell
Everybody's got a song to sing
If you listen real close
You'll know what I mean
'Cause you've got a story
You've got a story to tell
Yeah, yeah
Everybody got a story to tell
Yeah, yeah
I've got a story, you've got a story
We've got a story to tell
Ooh-ooh, yeah
I'm gonna tell everybody
