chris orrick - stories lyrics

[intro]
not every story has a point
not every question has a choice

[verse 1]
said i like going shopping on a sunday morning
just me in the store at the crack of dawn
while everybody else is yawnin’ up at church
and these poor motherf-ckers gotta work
some of ’em smilin’, some of ’em not
some of ’em there, barely awake on the job
and i can’t blame ’em, would never shame ’em
given the wages that these motherf-ckers pay ’em
they’re busy stocking from the night before
some try not to vomit from the night before
stayed up a little bit late, maybe a little mistake
but at the time, sh-t, it was great
so, why would you ever go to sleep?
when you’re hanging with your people and f-ck that job, anyway
all day on your feet, seven days of the week
and you barely gettin’ paid

[chorus]
not every story has a point
not every question has a choice
sometimes you let the music play
and let it tell you what to say
not every story has a meanin’
not every moment has a reason
sometimes you let the music play
and let it tell you what to say

[bridge]
let the music play

[verse 2]
i love the smell of diesel on a cold morning
trucks around the back, busy unloading
the vegetables are fresh, no need to inspect
the deli isn’t open yet, tomatoes lookin’ red
bananas lookin’ ripe, like, what should i cook tonight?
it’s fall in michigan, just get a bunch veggies and some meat
big ol’ pot, put all that sh-t in it
and let it cook in all day, employee in my aisle
and she looks my way and says “how you doin’, are you findin’ everything?”
i notice on her finger is a brand new wedding ring
i said, “yep, how you doin’ today?”
she said, “i’m pretty great, last night i got engaged”
i gave her my congratulations and went on my way
