I STILL HEAR VOICES *
© Words and Music:  Robert Jenkins and Donna Aylor 


Well I was five or six years old
The first time I heard voices
Coming from the dashboard
Of my Dad’s Econoline
He said “This one’s  ‘Crazy’ 
And that’s my favorite singer”
She sang  like an angel
And her name was Patsy Cline

Well I spent my childhood listening
To Willie, Merle and Waylon
Emmylou  and Dolly 
On my family’s radio
Songs of heartache and rejection
Forgiveness and redemption
Lessons I still carry with me
Everywhere I go
		
CHORUS
And I STILL HEAR VOICES
CALLING OUT TO ME IN SWEETEST  REFRAIN
I STILL HEAR VOICES
DRIFTING THROUGH MY MEMORY LIKE A SOFT RAIN 
SONGS THAT KEEP REMINDING ME
THE PATH OF LIFE IS PAVED WITH LOVE AND CHOICES
AND I THANK GOD I STILL HEAR VOICES

Saturday nights I stayed up late
Tuned into the Grand Ole Opry
I heard my favorite singers
As the stars came out each night
Learned some chords on my guitar
And dreamed  someday I would be 
Singing up there on that stage
Beneath the warm flood lights

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
Some folks say that words are cheap
But who am I to say they’re  wrong
But I’ll always treasure voices that speak  to me
Wrapped up in their sweet song

CHORUS- partial 
I  HEAR VOICES
SONGS THAT KEEP REMINDING ME
THE PATH OF LIFE IS PAVED WITH LOVE AND CHOICES
AND I THANK GOD I STILL HEAR VOICES
I STILL HEAR VOICES
SWEET SWEET  VOICES
