He was choking back the tears |
[00:25.000] |
As he tried to tell his wife |
[00:30.000] |
That the job he'd had for years |
[00:34.000] |
He'd worked hard all his life |
[00:40.000] |
That everything went south |
[00:44.000] |
And he couldn't meet the bills |
[00:49.000] |
And he had to sell the house |
[00:54.000] |
That his daddy built |
[00:59.000] |
And he'd ask how such a thing could be happening |
[01:09.000] |
But he was sure there was nobody listening |
[01:18.000] |
In the Gulf of Mexico |
[01:22.000] |
Near the town of New Orleans |
[01:27.000] |
Where all the tourists go |
[01:32.000] |
In this land of hopes and dreams |
[01:37.000] |
Then there came a killer storm |
[01:41.000] |
A devastating flood |
[01:46.000] |
And the people, they were warned |
[01:50.000] |
That it would turn their streets to mud |
[01:57.000] |
Sure enough, that storm took everything |
[02:07.000] |
And it was like there was nobody listening |
[02:16.000] |
In these days of change and mass communication |
[02:23.000] |
Seems like no one's plugged into the sounds of desperation |
[02:35.000] |
And they say the future's just an extension of the past |
[02:44.000] |
And history has knack of comin' back |
[03:13.000] |
Now the writer takes his pen |
[03:18.000] |
And he tries to find the words |
[03:22.000] |
Though time and time again |
[03:27.000] |
They often go unheard |
[03:32.000] |
And the singer sings his song |
[03:37.000] |
And he tries to impart |
[03:42.000] |
All the troubles goin' on |
[03:47.000] |
Weighin' heavy on his heart |
[03:52.000] |
But what good is the song that he has to sing |
[04:04.000] |
When nobody's listening? |
[04:11.000] |
But I know why he has to try to sing |
[04:20.000] |
'Cause he believes that somebody's listening |
