Shooter Jennings - The Door Lyrics






I've heard the sound of my dear old mama crying
And the sound of the train that took me off to war
The awful sound of a thousand bombs exploding
And I wondered if I could take it anymore

There were times when they almost drove me crazy
But I did my best and took it like a man
And who would think in my lonely room I'd hear it
The one sound in the world my heart can't stand

To hear that sound and to know its really over
Through tear stained eyes I watched her walk away
And of earthquakes, storms and guns and war
Lord, nothing has ever hurt me more than that lonely sound
The closing of the door

And of earthquakes, storms and guns and war
Lord, nothing ever hurt me more than that lonely sound
The closing of the door...

    Amazing.

  2. B.... W....

    This is good, nice twist and hits home hard to those who have lived it. You shoulda done Wine Colored Roses too...Always loved it though since hearing along with your respect for the possum. BUT - please don't drift away from outlaw country. Enough saxophone, instrumental shit from you and Sturgil... I mean wtf is that??

  3. P.... J....

    I can see how a person could like this song, but I don’t. The possum did it better in my opinion.

  4. K.... A....

    Love this song!

  5. S.... E....

    Sorry Shooter you destroyed George Jones song. Please don't sing his songs.

    S.... E....

    Sandra Ellis Agreed this is....just bad, really bad

    S.... E....

    You done lost your damn mind,...George's version of this song is horrible,...Shooter actually made this song enjoyable,...I will never understand why there are so many Shooter haters,..."Yeah lady you done lost your damn mind,...here is a idea,....if you don't have anything positive to say,....don't say anything at all,....what are you doing with your life,...apparently you are busy being a hater,....some people kill me,....smdh"

    S.... E....

    I literally grew up on George Jones and I definitely appreciate this version. It's a great cover.

    S.... E....

    @Sandra Ellis Sandra, I have to agree with you.  I didn't even last 2 minutes on this song.  I heard Shooter kill enough of his great dad's songs, now he is killing the Possum's.  Not sure who is worse, Shooter or Hank Williams III.  Both suck.

  6. M.... T....

    This is great!

  7. R.... ....

    Heard this song in Jimmy John's the other day. Legit
