A song about how we all have our stories and sharing them

lyrics

A Story to Share

A group of old men retired from farming
They meet for coffee most every day
They talk about family and good times
They talk about bad days and sometimes
They just sip their coffee and don't say a word
While Ed tells a new one that nobody's heard

‘Cause they've all got a story to share
About small town life and the people who live there
Some stories are funny and some bring a tear
Some are about friends that are no longer here
And sometimes ... They're a burden to bear
And they’ve all got a story to share

The hour long coffee break's just about done
They cut the cards to see who has won
Looks like old Taylor drew high card again
So he gets to pay & everyone grins
‘Cause they know they'll be back tomorrow again
To gamble for coffee and swap a new story with friends

‘Cause they've all got a story to share
About small town life and the people who live there
Some stories are funny and some bring a tear
Some are about friends that are no longer here
And sometimes ... They're a burden to bear
And they’ve all got a story to share

Now everyone listens to Billy
He’s the grandson that Gordon brought with him today
The story's not long but they listen
How grandpa went fishing with him yesterday

And we’ve all got a story to share
About our lives and the people who care
Some stories are funny and some bring a tear
Some are about friends who are no longer here
And sometimes … they’re a burden to bear
But we’ve all got a story to share
We’ve all got a story to share

about

Reuben Brock Nashville, Tennessee

I always knew I was destined to be a traveler and a collector of stories. My songs are the music I hear in my head that seems to me to have been a part of the stories all along. For the traveler, there's always the familiar, restless pull...the long road that awaits and yet flows into the past.

The first single release from the upcoming Reuben Brock DAMAGE studio album is NAIL AND HAMMER.
