Try Not To Listen

Sometimes I get captured by the way a song sounds

It takes me inside and lifts me up off the ground

It can make you feel love like you’ve never felt before

Or it can make you cry and want to hide behind doors

For a song is more powerful that most people think

Go ahead and sit by the jukebox

And order up another drink

And try not to listen

Try not to hear the words

For that song that’s always haunted you

Is always gonna be heard

I hope you listen to my songs

I hope you listen to what I say

This song’s my life and that’s the reason

Oh the reason I was made

Sometimes I put some grit into it and sing it loud as I can

And I scream and yell at the crowd hoping that they understand

And sometimes they yell back and it’s as crazy as it can be

And I think to myself, what a hell of a life I lead

For a song is more powerful that most people think

Go ahead and sit by the jukebox

And order up another drink

Sometimes it’s real slow and tender as it can be

And I look into your eyes and I wish you could see what I see

You may not want to listen, you may not like my style

But I promise you by the end of the night, there’s something you’re gonna realize

That a song is more powerful that most people think

Go ahead and sit by the jukebox

And order up another drink
