[Verse 1] You said, “Come by, there’s room at the table” I nearly said no, had a train to catch Then a laugh from the kitchen, a story half-told And a map on the wall with a pin in the coast [Pre-Chorus] One open door, one borrowed chair A name I didn’t know, now everywhere [Chorus] The best stories start with yes Yes to the road, yes to the mess A stranger’s joke, a door swung wide A whole new world on the other side The best stories start with yes Say it once and see what comes next [Verse 2] We missed the last bus, found a midnight diner Shared the last slice with a local band By morning we’d planned a weekend in their town And I had new friends waving as the train rolled out [Pre-Chorus] One little chance, one change of plan A life can turn on “sure, I can” [Chorus] The best stories start with yes Yes to the road, yes to the mess A stranger’s joke, a door swung wide A whole new world on the other side The best stories start with yes Say it once and see what comes next [Bridge] When the plan goes left, let it lead you through Every unexpected turn can bring someone new Pass the plate, pull up a chair There’s room for one more story there [Final Chorus] The best stories start with yes Yes to the road, yes to the mess A stranger’s joke, a door swung wide A whole new world on the other side The best stories start with yes Say it once and see what comes next The best stories start with yes Come on in and see what comes next [Outro] Say yes, come in Let the story begin
