Try Not To Listen

Wade Bowen & West 84


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
