Aaron Tippin - Read Between The Lines Lyrics
(aaron tippin/michael puryear)Ive got some mighty tall tales from livin hard and fastIm a walkin, talkin, livin, breathin, portrait of my pastIve double-crossed the devil, prayed the lord my soul to keepEscaped some early graves by the skin of my teethAll the deepest secrets of my soul the world can plainly seecause everything Ive ever done is written all over meIf you just read between the lines of this well-weathered face of mineEvery wrinkle, every scar was a painful work of artThat reminds me of mistakes that Ive madeAnd no story I can tell can tell it quite as wellAs these souvenirs that livins left behindSo take a long, hard look at the cover of this bookAnd read between the linesAnd read between the linesThey might be hard to find on this rigid face of stoneThere are pleasant deep impressions that are solid as goldAnd Ill be the first to tell you that this ol boys been blessedcause even the worst of times have turned out for the bestLike roads on a map they cross a battered stretch of skinYou can trace your way through memory lane to anywhere Ive beenIf you just read between the lines of this well-weathered face of mineEvery wrinkle, every scar was a painful work of artThat reminds me of mistakes that Ive madeAnd no story I can tell can tell it quite as wellAs these souvenirs that livins left behindSo take a long, hard look at the cover of this bookAnd read between the linesAnd read between the lines
