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

When 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 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 the man's life ever comes to

Everything he ever walks 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

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh
