Shouted for my whiskey, shouted for my wine Shouted for my true love she used to be with me all the time Shouted up to heaven for an answer from the sky Chorus: Can you hear that If Only, does the good lord call you Will you come home to me, Ellen where are you The road's a long and a lonely and I pray each and every day But nobody listens to a word I say Everyone's drinking with their heads in their hands Nobody's talking but I understand Every word they're saying Like you're whispering still in my ear Repeat chorus I don't want to hear it from you Why you got to tell me the truth And all the words that I said, they never said what I meant And where the time goes I guess that's where you went I cry to the river and the river cries back How can you tell me he loves you like that I'm tired of talking to you all the time I'm gonna talk to myself Nobody seems to mind
