The Story
This song is just me being completely blunt and honest with myself about which voice in my head (or on my shoulder) that I listen to more. And why. And why I should listen to the other one more. For me - it constantly reminds me of my Nashville journey. From the earliest days right up to now. It's a constant battle to not let the negative stuff win the day... especially when the positive stuff is happening all the time and getting ignored. Bless my heart.
Lyrics
The good Lord could be shoutin’ From the highest mountain Beggin’ me to listen but I don’t When my faith is fadin’ I know His heart is breakin’ Sayin’ my name and callin’ me home But sometimes the only thing I hear Is what the devil whispers in my ear No matter how many open All I see are doors closing What’s the point of trying anyways If I was God I’d be givin’ up on me Instead of liftin’ up His angels singin’ me Amazing Grace But sometimes the only thing I hear Is what the devil whispers in my ear Sayin’ you cain’t and you won’t Amount to nothing don’t ya know You’re wastin’ your whole life Chasing something you’ll never find He wraps me up in self-doubt and fear That’s what the devil whispers in my ear It’s not like I stop believing As sure as my heart’s beatin’ I know His love is unconditional And most days His voice is loud and clear It’s just that sometimes the only thing I hear Is what the devil whispers in my ear
