Voices

You could say I'm a little bit crazy

You could call me insane

Walkin' 'round with all these whispers

Runnin' 'round here in my brain

I just can't help but hear 'em

Man, I can't avoid it

I hear voices

I hear voices like

My dad sayin': "Work that job

But don't work your life away"

And mama tellin' me to drop some cash

In the offerin' plate on Sunday

And granddad sayin': "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 sayin': "Quit that team

And you'd be a quitter for the rest of your life"

And mama tellin' me to say a prayer

Every time I lay down at night

And grandma sayin': "If you find the one

You better treat her right"

Yeah, I hear voices all the time

Sometimes I try to ignore 'em

But I thank God for 'em

'Cause they made me who I am

My dad sayin': "Work that job

But don't work your life away"

And mama tellin' me to drop some cash

In the offerin' plate on Sunday

And granddad sayin': "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
