Voices

You could say I'm a little bit crazy
You could call me insane
Walking around with all these whispers
Running around here in my brain
I just can't help but hear them
Man, I can't avoid it
I hear voices
I hear voices like

My dad saying work that job
But don't work your life away
And mama telling me to drop some cash
In the offering plate on Sunday
And Grandad saying you can have a few
But don't ever cross that line
Yeah, I hear voices all the time

Turns out I'm pretty dang lucky
For all that good advice
Those hard to find words of wisdom
Holed up here in my mind
And just when I've lost my way
Or I've got too many choices
I hear voices
I hear voices like

My dad saying quit that team
You'll be a quitter for the rest of your life
Mama telling me to say a prayer
Every time I lay down at night
And grandma saying if you find the one
You better treat her right
Yeah, I hear voices all the time

Sometimes I try to ignore them
But I thank God for them
Because they made me who I am

My dad saying work that job
But don't work your life away
And mama telling me to drop some cash
In the offering plate on Sunday
And Grandad saying you can have a few
But don't ever cross that line
Yeah, I hear voices all the time
Yeah, I hear voices all the time
All the time
