That’s My Story Songtext
von John Lee Hooker

When I first started travelin′, travelin'
I left home when I was young
When I first started travelin′
I left home when I was young
I left Old Mississipi
Made my first stop in Memphis Tennessee
True story of my life

I worked in Memphis Tennessee
Down at the New Days picture show

Everybody, everybody wanna hear my story
They wanna know, they wanna know
Just how old I was when I left home
I was only 14 years old when I hit the road
I left Mississippi
Mmm
I come to Memphis Tennessee


I worked there
I wasn't makin much money
I work all day
Play my guitar at night
Mmm

Then I left that town
When I was 17 years old
That's my story

I come to Cincinnati
Mmm
I stayed down
Two long years
I didn′t get no break

I come down
Old Detroit Michigan
I got my start in Detroit, mmm
I been there, I been there ever since

That′s my story, that's my story
That′s my story of my life

That's my story
That′s my story, mmm
I had a hard time


Now I'm doin alright
That′s my story that's my story, people
That's my story of my life
