The Story of Everyone

from On the Air by Garrett Anderson

lyrics

Well your mother found a daddy and a baby was born
Yes here you are
You took a step, took a fall, n' got up again
It's the story of everyone
You got a butter-knife shock coming out of the wall
Yea you really blew a fuse
Momma gotta go and cry all alone
Never kicked them baby blues
So I know the story goes
Gotta Dig Deep, and Aim True

Well you mother was the daughter of an Irishman
He sailed across the sea
Found the promised land and worked with his hands
And the strength of ten men
Never stopped building 'till the day he died
Man he wasn't nobodies fool
Found his way back to his Dorothy
And didn't need any ruby shoes
So I know the story goes
Gotta Dig Deep, and Aim True

Photograph up on the wall says it all
There used to be a time and place when we were young
But that's gone
Yea, alright

Well your momma's got a motor like a muscle machine
She moves mountains everyday
Dandy Lion Momma with the wind in her hair
She's a flower in a bed of nails
Well Life ain't easy but it's on the line
Begging you to pay for the call
Broke down baby on the side of the road
It's high time to learn to crawl
