The Storyteller
From the start of time
First man to start a fire or wonder about the stars
Any man to lose a fight
From a hard right where the whiskey went too far
Every cowboy on a Texas plain
How he stole a blue-eyed heart away
Was a long ride where he'd spin a tale or two
And yeah, that's a storyteller
A damn good storyteller
From the start of time
How God designed to leave that empty space
For every man alive
To try to find some meaning in the blanks
Shakespeare wrote the plays
And Van Gogh did it with paint
And Granddad did it working on the lines
Yeah, that's a storyteller
A damn good storyteller
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, wars been fought and battles won
'Cause words can kill just like a gun
Or be as sweet as honey on the vine
All a mans life ever comes to
Every path he ever walk through
Is a trail of memories that he leaves behind
To the next storyteller
Yeah, the next storyteller
Yeah, the next storyteller
Yeah, the next storyteller
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
