Sometimes I get captured by the way a song sounds 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 than most people think Go ahead and sit by the jukebox and order up a 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 that I was made Sometimes I put some grit into it and sing as 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 Sometimes it's just 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 before the end of the night, there's something you're gonna realize
