There's an oil well down by Johnson's Road

Where we'd go to be alone

I never thought I'd go there by myself

I stood there calling out your name

No one answered just the same

The silence speaks for itself



Chorus:

Well, I've been high and I've been low

And I've walked through the fires of hell

Are you coming back, Lord, I don't know

I guess the silence speaks for itself



The last time you talked to me

I did all the talkin', now I see

You were telling me there was someone else

What I'd give to hear your voice

But I'm not given any choice

'Cause the silence speaks for itself



Chorus (Twice)



I guess the silence.
