Nobody Listens

Shouted for my whiskey, shouted for my wine
Shouted for my true love she used to be with me all the time
Shouted up to heaven for an answer from the sky

Chorus:
Can you hear that If Only, does the good lord call you
Will you come home to me, Ellen where are you
The road's a long and a lonely and I pray each and every day
But nobody listens to a word I say

Everyone's drinking with their heads in their hands
Nobody's talking but I understand
Every word they're saying
Like you're whispering still in my ear

Repeat chorus

I don't want to hear it from you
Why you got to tell me the truth
And all the words that I said, they never said what I meant
And where the time goes I guess that's where you went

I cry to the river and the river cries back
How can you tell me he loves you like that
I'm tired of talking to you all the time
I'm gonna talk to myself
Nobody seems to mind
