Tom T. Hall - What Am I Gonna Do With My Music lyrics

[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
