Lyrics

The back of the bar seems so far
Far away
The stage is bare
The tables and chairs are empty tonight

One microphone and one guitar turned up to five
I’ll sing my song but the game is on
You don’t know I’m alive

Nobody’s listening
The silence is deafening
Nobody’s listening at all

It’s half past ten
I’m at it again
I play to survive
I see the back of your head
I feel like I’m dead and I’m dying inside
Some change in my jar
I’ll sleep in my car
It’s a labor of love
With grace and poise I’m your background noise
But I crave the rush

Nobody’s listening
It’s a rude awakening
Nobody’s listening at all

I’m singing I’m playing every night
When the weekend comes and my money’s gone
You were still there

Someday I’ll be famous and you will have missed it
Because you were talking
Yes you were talking

I cuss and fuss
The drink is just to make it through
Life on the road I’ve never felt to alone
I’m missing you
I sing from the heart
I nail all the parts
You’re deaf dumb and blind
As the patrons walk out I scream and shout
They pay no mind

Nobody’s listening
Is this really happening
Nobody’s listening
At all

Nobody’s listening
Your chatter is overpowering
Nobody’s listening
At all
