There's a lady down in New Orleans Walking the streets trying to make the scene She's a runaway Everybody got a story to tell
Mr. President you're just a man You've got your problems and I understand You've got your cross to bear Everybody got a story to tell
Across the tracks in a three room shack There's a daddy lying on his back He's drunk again Baby's crying ain't got no milk to drink
(Chorus) Everybody got a story to tell Everybody got a song to sing And if you listen real close You'll know what I mean 'Cause you've got a story to tell
Down on 6th Street where the young folks hang out There's a preacher trying to tell them what it's about But they just laugh it off While the preacher man cries
Susie Jane left school today Told her family that a baby is on the way But everything is gonna be alright The doctor will take care of it all
(Repeat Chorus)
Like a ship that was lost at sea That was my like but Jesus rescued me Now I know the way And I got a story to tell
Now you may feel like a castaway But this Jesus can change your night to day Won't you let Him do it now You're gonna have a story to tell
