about

based on how I feel most of the time at some of my solo cover gigs, when the place is empty, or everyone is watching the big game on TV.

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
