When You Can't feel the Music Anymore


Just another man who works hard in his boots
I go to church and I know Jesus more than most
I've felt heartache, hunger and a lot of pain
I carry my gun, sleep in the sand and cry when my buddies fall
So that my family can sleep sound tonight

Chorus
What do you do when the music has no melody
What do you do when the songs have lost their soul
You listen to them and sometimes sing along
But these songs I know so well mean so little to me
I used to sing and smile and cry to their heartfelt melody
So what do you do when you don't feel the music anymore?

I go back home to mountains I've missed so long
To hugs and kisses from loved ones I ain't seen it's been too long
I smile and tell them that I'm alright
I tell of my good times and cool things I've seen
 I listen to stories of the things that haven't changed
They don't know the things I've done or terror that I have seen
I keep it locked away with feelings that used to be

Chorus
What do you do when the music has no melody
What do you do when the songs have lost their soul
You listen to them and sometimes sing along
But these songs I know so well mean so little to me
I used to sing and smile and cry to their heartfelt melody
So what do you do when you don't feel the music anymore?

I'm far away now with my family dressed in green
A bond unbroken and love unseen
A song comes on the radio it makes me think of home
And I feel nothing It's the dead part of me
I run and fight regardless of the pain
I read letters, my girl is gone, my uncle died, my mamma's sick
But I am far away and I can't do anything
I tuck my letter far away along with the pain
I have a job to do and I don’t feel anymore

Chorus
What do you do when the music has no melody
What do you do when the songs have lost their soul
You listen to them and sometimes sing along
But these songs I know so well mean so little to me
I used to sing and smile and cry to their heartfelt melody
So what do you do when you don't feel the music anymore?

My sacrifice is more than a bullet and a gun
It is the feeling I once felt before I'd gone
I know my heart still beats deep withhin my chest
But no matter how much I try I don't feel anymore
I just push on, do my job and keep you safe regardless of what goes on
So what do I do when I don't feel the music anymore?
