What Am I Gonna Do With My Music by Tom T. Hall Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1983

[Verse:]
What am I gonna do with my music that nobody wants to hear
What am I gonna do with my love songs
They make me break out in tears
What am I gonna do with my stories that paint life so sad and grief
What am I gonna do with my music that nobody wants to hear?
I've got some friends who would listen
But it costs too much to get 'em drunk
And when they're sober all they're remember is
Oh boy that music's stunt
So what am I gonna do with my waltzes
When nobody wants to dance
And what am I gonna do with my music
If nobody gives me a chance?
What am I gonna do with my marches I guess I'll just wait for a war
What am I gonna do with my sad recitations
I can't get them into the store
They say you have to be different
I wish I could whistle through my ears
Oh, what am I gonna do with my music that nobody wants to hear
That nobody wants to hear
