Tell Me a Story

Tell me a story I don't know

Not like the one you've heard from lovers

Ends with, "Baby, don't you go"

Tell me a story that'll break my wretched heart, but do it slow

Tell me a story I don't know

Play me a tune that never leaves

Like the one your mother taught you

One with beauty and with ease

Play me a tune that'll set my heart alight in Tennessee

Play me a tune that never leaves

Sing me a song, o' darlin' please

Something no one's ever heard of that'll bring me to my knees

Sing me a song the way that Dolly sings that "Early Mornin' Breeze"

Sing me a song, o' darlin' please

Write me a letter that you mean

One where the words jump off the page

The kind that's few and far between

Write me a letter that'll make me wanna be the best I've been

Write me a letter that you mean

Tell me a story I don't know

Not like the one you've heard from lovers

Ends with, "Baby, don't you go"

Tell me a story that'll break my wretched heart, but do it slow

Tell me a story I don't know
