"Nobody Cares" lyrics

People up and down Broadway, boots polished and shined
Searching for Nashville in the new neon lights
Sometimes I wonder if they hear an old moan
Would they stop for a minute or just keep moving on

Nobody cares when a steel guitar cries
They don't even notice anymore, the heartache it hides
That high and lonesome is sure lonely tonight
'Cause nobody listens, nobody cares
When a steel guitar cries

The days of my daddy, they tell me they're gone
'Cause nobody's dancing to sad country songs
You can't make me believe that all hope is lost
'Cause I find redemption when haggard comes on

Nobody cares when a steel guitar cries
They don't even notice anymore, the heartache it hides
That high and lonesome is sure lonely tonight
'Cause nobody listens, nobody cares
When a steel guitar cries

Ah, pick it anyway

So, I'll keep on singing for as long as I have
Even if it sounds like a ghost from the past

Nobody cares when a steel guitar cries
They don't even notice anymore, the heartache it hides
That high and lonesome is sure lonely tonight
'Cause nobody listens, nobody cares
When a steel guitar cries
