Story Of Your Life Is In Your Face Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

I was sittin' down in Hong Kong in a bar 

Picking and a singing my way west with my guitar 

I talked to some old sailor just to pass away the time 

And he said something that stuck in my mind 

He said the story of your life is in your face 

It's written there in little subtle lines 

The story of your life is in your face 

What's written on your face has been heavy on your mind 

He touched my face with his hands old and frail 

They were scared and weather beaten by the oceans he had sailed 

He said it's written in your face the times that you've been hurt 

And he said mighty is the power of the skirt 

And he said the story of your life is in your face 

It's written there in little subtle lines 

The story of your life is in your face 

What's written on your face has been heavy on your mind

He said the lines say you're a travelin' man 

I said that ain't no revelation seein' where I am 

He said in this ole world our paths may never cross again 

Just remember what I'm tellin' you my friend 

He said the story of your life is in your face 

It's written there in little subtle lines 

The story of your life is in your face 

What's written on your face has been heavy on your mind 

There are some things we cannot seem to hide 

We sometimes lie about them cause it satisfies our pride 

There are some things we can't escape no matter how we try 

'Cause it's written in our face and in our eyes 

And he said the story of your life is in your face 

It's written there in little subtle lines 

The story of your life is in your face 

What's written on your face has been heavy on your mind

And he said the story of your life is in your face 

It's written there in little subtle lines 

The story of your life is in your face 

What's written on your face has been heavy on your mind
