lyrics

I wouldn’t dream of staying quiet,
Even if I’ve got nothing to say,
There is no other place that I can find it,
I’ve got my voice, and it’s here to stay.

I think of my friends and all of the music we’ve made,
Some have had kids, bought a house and have moved far away,
And will this happen to me, well who is to say?
Not today.
You could have a career. You could buy a cute house ‘round the bay,
But I’m really not too concerned, ‘cause well

I wouldn’t dream of staying quiet,
Even if I’m not taking the stage,
There is no other place that I can find it,
I’ve got my voice, and it’s here to stay.

Surrounded by punks, trying to get their approval bestowed,
Secretly you played acoustic guitar on your own,
Singing Kris Kristofferson tunes in your room all alone,
In the zone.
One day you’ll grow up and all of your skills will be shown,
And outlaw country will be hip then too.

Cause you wouldn’t dream of staying quiet,
Even if it’s all uncool today,
There is no other place that you can find it,
You’ve got your voice, and it’s here to stay.

Somebody asked me, where is your next release?
Well I guess laying low has been a bit of a relief.
Had some knots to untangle, a heart holding onto some grief,
Underneath.
But I’m drowning in music and I think that I’m springing a leak,
And I can easily honestly say,

That I wouldn’t dream of staying quiet,
Even if I’ll go right mad this way,
There is no other place that I can find it,
I’ve got my voice and it’s here to stay.
