The derivation of that phrase, as I heard it (correct me if I'm wrong) is as follows:
A major-league baseball player and his family were in Florida for spring training. The regular season was fast approaching and they had packed up most of their household goods, awaiting the trip north. The ballplayer stayed out all night, and staggered into the kitchen the next morning. His wife asked him where the hell he had been all night.
"Well, dear, I came home at about 11 pm and didn't want to wake you or the kids, so I slept in the hammock on the porch."
"Honey, we packed up the hammock two days ago."
(Brief pause) "Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it."
(Brief pause) "Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it."
Good one, Truth. Thanks for the clarification!

There's a snappy country song with "That's my story and I'm sticking to it."
