You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet

On a park bench

The old man sat and stared into yesterday

I sat down beside him

Said thank God for this quiet place

Between the wife and the kids

The TV and the phone

It seems there's something always goiing wrong

He said son if you think this is quiet

You should follow me home

'Cause you ain't heard nothing yet

'Til you've lived in a house by yourself

When silence is all you've got left

In the rooms where your babies have slept

So don't wish for something

You will regret

'Cause you ain't heard nothing yet

The old man kept talkin'

Paintin' pictures from his memories

Did he drag out his past for himself

Or was it for me

His eyes came alive

He spoke of dancin' with his wife

And playin' ball with his two little boys

He said son

What I hear is music you're callin' noise

'You ain't heard nothin' yet

'Til you've lived in a house by yourself

When silence is all you've got left

In the rooms where you're babies have slept

So don't wish for something

You will regret

'Cause you ain't heard nothin' yet

We'll all rest in peace

On that you can bet

'Cause you ain't heard nothin' yet
