My Story - Aloe Blacc

Come on close

I wanna start the show up by telling you

A little bit about myself

Bout my story

Gray hairs are the ribbons

For a game of life well played

And the wrinkles are trophies

For the progress that I have made

Any good that I've done so far

Was probably just a mistake

And if they're giving now credits

For foolish hearts

That's credit I'd gladly take

I can count all the people

I call best friends on one hand

Being someone people count on

That's how I became the man

This is my story

The life that I have found

This is my story

It's full of ups and downs

It's a true story

Of good times and of sorrow

A brand new old story

Of yesterday and tomorrow

But thanks to those

Who laid the road before me

Laid the road

So I could tell my story

Every tree that ever grew

Knew just which way to grow

And every bird that ever flew

Knew just which way to go

I can count all the people

I call best friends on one hand

Being someone people count on

Well that's how I became the man

Time is the bridge we cross

To help us on our way

Reminds us who we used to be

And where we are today

This is my story

The life that I have found

This is my story

It's full of ups and downs

It's a true story

Of good times and of sorrow

A brand new old story

Of yesterday and tomorrow

Thanks to those

Who paved the way before me

And laid the road

So I could tell my story

Well time is the bridge we cross

To help us on our way

Reminds us who we used to be

And where we are today

This is my story

A life that I have found

This is my story

It's full of ups and downs

It's a true story

Of good times and of sorrow

A brand new old story

Of yesterday and tomorrow

This is my story

Yes it is, yes it is

It's my story

It's full of ups and downs

It's a true story

Of good times and of sorrow

A brand new old story

Of yesterday and tomorrow

It's my story, hey, hey

My story, hey, yeah

A true story, hey, yeah

Thanks to those

Who paved the way before me

And laid the road

So I could tell my story
