Lyrics
I've heard the sound of my dear ole momma crying
And the sound of the train that took me off to war
And the awful sound of 1, 000 exploding
And I wonder if I could take it anymore
There were times when they almost drove me crazy
But I did my best and took it like a man
But who would think in my lonely room I'd hear it
The one sound in the world a heart can't stand
To hear the sound and to know its really over
Through tear stained eyes I watched her walk away
And the earthquakes, storms, and guns and war, lord nothing has hurt anyomore than that lonely sound of the closing of the door
And the earthquakes, storms, and guns and war, lord nothing has hurt anyomore than that lonely sound of the closing of the door.
Writer(s): Billy Sherrill, Norris D Wilson
