Lyrics

Learning How To Listen

I wore tough skin jeans, holes in both knees
On the playground at my school
report card day, I never made the grade
I was breakin' all the rules
Mom's hand on her hip, I got off the bus
She grabbed my neck, starts makin' a fuss, askin'
"boy, why you bein such a fool?"...I said

I'm Learning How to Listen
Better than before
There's still some things I'm fixin'
But there's a lot to be thankful for
Don't worry now, I'll figure out
How to pay attention more
I'll make it my main mission
I'm Learning How to Listen

I got a new touch screen, iphone type thing
Ear buds to crank my tunes
I can check the game, kick back and daydream
On Sunday afternoon
My wife walks in, and says "we never talk"
I hold her hand , and we take a walk, I say
"honey, I'll make it up to ya soon"...

(Chorus Then Bridge)

Sunday Church last week, I heard our preacher say
Every Word takes a deeper meaning, if you think of it this way...

We're Learning How to Listen
Better than before
There's still some things we're fixin'
But there's a lot to be thankful for
Don't worry now, we'll figure out
How to pay attention more
If we make it our main mission
Learning How to Listen...
