It’s all over but the shouting It’s all done but the deed It’s all healed but the hurtin’ It’s all taken but the heed It’s all over but the shouting It’s all gone but the need She let me be all alone and discarded An old machine chokin’ out in the weeds Like a rusted water can in the garden That’s all about that’s left of me It’s all over but the shouting It’s all done but the deed It’s all healed but the hurtin’ It’s all gone but the need There’s a voice in my head that’s a-callin’ Time it moves at a puzzlin’ speed If I don’t get some quiet, if I don’t get it right Then I might start to wonder why I put up a fight It’s all over but the shouting It’s all done but the deed It’s all healed but the hurtin’ It’s all gone but the need There’s a song in my head this mornin’ There’s a chance it’ll be about you If I wait I’ll forget or if I over commit There’s a fightin’ good chance it’ll never get writ It’s all over but the shouting It’s all done but the deed It’s all healed but the hurtin’ It’s all gone but the need
