True Story Lyrics - Singles - Tony Lucca

Rolled on out of Motown back in '91 

Left them bitter winters for the Florida summer sun 

Breakin' hearts in theme parks 

Smiled for anyone for anyone who held a camera to my face and said "Say cheese!" 

Wound up on the telly 

With a twinkle in my eye 

Twinkle disappeared the night I started gettin' high 

And everything seemed so absurd 

Until the night I finally heard the sound of Coltrane 

It brought me to my knees 

There's a long drive straight through the night 

Starin' out the window 

Lookin' for the first signs of daylight 

Just hold on tight 

With all of your might 

See it takes the time it takes to get it right 

So I peddled across the country 

Wound up here in Hollywood 

Left my high school sweetheart when I realized I could 

She became a movie star 

I've took to sleepin' in my car 

Still singin' songs about her to this day 

Drove myself to New York City 

Chasin' love again 

She moved me to tears and then I wound up movin' in 

That Apple got the best of me 

So I packed up the rest of me 

And I grabbed a cab, said "Straight to JFK!" 

There's a long drive straight through the night 

Starin' out the window 

Lookin' for the first signs of daylight 

Just hold on tight 

With all of your might 

See it takes the time it takes to get it right 

Now I'm back in Hollywood 

This guitar in my hand 

These days I'm only using words that I can understand 

Singin' songs, I'll carry on 

Keep at it until I'm dead and gone 

Then maybe my gravestone will say 

There's a long drive straight through the night 

Starin' out the window 

Lookin' for the first signs of daylight 

Just hold on tight 

With all of your might 

See it takes the time it takes to get it right 

They say it takes the time it takes to get it right 

Third time's the charm 

You see, it take the time it take to get it right
