Lyrics
That's the Way the Story Goes"
Verse:
I know it was a crazy life
Anything different just would'nt seem right
Those alligator shoes, they ust had to go
Sold them to some pimp up in Buffalo
Chorus:
That's the way this story goes
Sell 'em high and buy 'em low
That's the way way this story goes
In the morning the rooster crows
Verse:
Remember the blind man down in Baton Rouge
Stepped in front of the bus, made the front page news
Old man hit the ground, he never felt a thing
Got back up and brushed it off and started walking again
Chorus:
That's the way the story goes
Sell 'em high and buy 'em low
That's the way the story goes
In the morning the rooster crows
Verse:
Finally met someone whose dreams came true
She was so happy till the bills came due
Cocaine and credit cards, fountains and fancy cars
And overly sodded yards and lots of tatoos
Chorus:
That's the way the story goes
Sell 'em high and buy 'em low
That's the way the story goes
In the morning the rooster crows
Verse:
I've got knick-nacks in my Cadillac
I peddle them down the street
I've got diamond rings and watches
You know my prices can't be beat
I've got golden chains so long that they'll hang down to your feet
I've got ruby bracelets in my back seat
I've got diamond studs across my feet
Chorus:
That's the way the story goes
Sell 'em high and buy 'em low
That's the way the story goes
IN the morning the rooster crows
