Used To The Noise Lyrics - Nora Jane Struthers

It's been hard since I left you 

Twenty years is a long, long time 

But it was harder livin' with you 

All that yelling's enough to make a woman lose her fight 

So I moved in to the apartment 

Above the bar we used to drink at with the boys 

The air is thick with smoke and smells of whiskey 

It's loud, but I'm getting used to the noise 

I'd rather listen to that jukebox play 8T all night 

I'd rather dance alone than walk the floor 

Sometimes I recognize a drunken laugh, a raspy voice 

It's loud, but I'm getting used to the noise

You came by to say you're sorry 

With yellow daisies and a bright white Sunday shirt 

You talked a lot about how you would listen 

But you never took your eyes off my skirt 

I'd rather listen to that jukebox play 8T all night 

I'd rather dance alone than walk the floor 

Sometimes I recognize a drunken laugh, a raspy voice 

It's loud, but I'm getting used to the noise 

Maybe someday I'll move to the country 

When I've had my fill of neon and well, gin 

I'll think of you, when I hear those coyotes 

But for now my lullaby's this bar-room din

Sometimes I recognize a drunken laugh, a raspy voice 

It's loud, but I'm getting used to the noise 

It's loud, but I'm getting used to the noise
