Willie Nelson
[Intro]
D A D D
[Verse 1]
If you Dthink I laugh louder than Ganyone Dhere
If you think that my volume's too Ahigh
If you Dthink I laugh louder, you Gain't heard nothin' Dyet
You ought to Ahear me Dcry
[Verse 2]
If you Dthink I talk louder than Gmaybe I Dshould
Well, I guess I'm just that kind of Aguy
But if I Dtalk loud and laugh loud you Gain't heard it Dall
You ought to Ahear me Dcry
[Chorus]
I go Ahome to a home, where Dlove's almost gone
Not Eenough to fill one needle's Aeye
Then I Dsit down in a corner and I Gturn on the Dtears
And you ought to Ahear me Dcry
{Instrumental}

[Chorus]
I go Ahome to a home, where lDove's almost gone
Not Eenough to fill one needle's Aeye
Then I Dsit down in a corner and I Gturn on the Dtears
And you ought to Ahear me Dcry
And you ought to Ahear me Dcry
