Herndon - Heard at Last lyrics

Heard At Last I've been going down the way That I've gone down before I'll get drunk or I'll get lost Just to keep from getting bored I've got to wonder When is my life really going to change Tomorrow isn't soon enough I'd rather it were today I just sit here in this room With an ashtray and a mic Trying to record the perfect sounds But to me they all sound perfectly alike When no one listens, you sing to the microphone When no one remembers, you sing to the tape And maybe someday some lonely person Will accidentally hit play And we'll be heard at last And we'll be heard at last And we'll be heard at last © 1995 & 2011, Allen Herndon (BMI).
