Lyrics Nobody's Listening - Willie Nelson
He
was
choking
back
the
tears
As
he
tried
to
tell
his
wife
That
the
job
he'd
had
for
years
He'd
worked
hard
all
his
life
That
everything
went
south
And
he
couldn't
meet
the
bills
And
he
had
to
sell
the
house
That
his
daddy
built
And
he'd
ask
how
such
a
thing
could
be
happening
But
he
was
sure
there
was
nobody
listening
In
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
Near
the
town
of
New
Orleans
Where
all
the
tourists
go
In
this
land
of
hopes
and
dreams
Then
there
came
a
killer
storm
A
devastating
flood
And
the
people,
they
were
warned
That
it
would
turn
their
streets
to
mud
Sure
enough,
that
storm
took
everything
And
it
was
like
there
was
nobody
listening
In
these
days
of
change
and
mass
communication
Seems
like
no
one's
plugged
into
the
sounds
of
desperation
And
they
say
the
future's
just
an
extension
of
the
past
And
history
has
knack
of
comin'
back
Now
the
writer
takes
his
pen
And
he
tries
to
find
the
words
Though
time
and
time
again
They
often
go
unheard
And
the
singer
sings
his
song
And
he
tries
to
impart
All
the
troubles
goin'
on
Weighin'
heavy
on
his
heart
But
what
good
is
the
song
that
he
has
to
sing
When
nobody's
listening?
But
I
know
why
he
has
to
try
to
sing
'Cause
he
believes
that
somebody's
listening
