You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet

On a park bench the old man Sat and stared into yesterday I sat down beside him and said "Thank God for this quite place Between the wife and the kids, the TV and the phone It seems there's something always goin' on" He said, "Son, if you think this is quite You should follow me home" 'Cause you ain't heard nothin' yet 'Til you've lived in a house by yourself When silence is all you've got left In the rooms where your babies have slept So don't wish for something you will regret 'Cause you ain't heard nothin' yet The old man kept talkin' Painting pictures from his memories Did he drag out his past for himself Or was it for me His eyes came alive, he spoke of dancing with his wife And playing ball with his two little boys He said, "Son, what I hear is music, you're callin' noise" 'Cause you ain't heard nothin' yet 'Til you've lived in a house by yourself When silence is all you've got left In the rooms where your babies have slept So don't wish for something you will regret 'Cause you ain't heard nothin' yet We'll all rest in peace, on that you can bet Oh, you ain't heard nothin' yet --- You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet - Joe Nichols
