Gene Watson - Maybe I Should Have Been Listening Lyrics






Here you are back on my mind where you stay quite a lot
Bringing back all the old memories I thought I'd forgot
I just keep finding you with me and I don't know why
Maybe, I should've been listening when you said, goodbye

I can't believe how you keep hanging on to my mind
Now I know leaving means one goes and one stays behind
I can't escape from you no matter how hard I try
Maybe, I should've been listening when you said, goodbye

Maybe, I should've been watching when you walked away
Maybe, you wouldn't keep turning up day after day
If I'd paid attention I'd know you didn't lie
Maybe, I should've been listening when you said, goodbye
Maybe, I should've been listening you said, goodbye

    Gene is one singer that I turn on when wanting to practice my harmony parts.  LOL!

  31. j.... p....

    i hope in the near future he will come to arizona

  32. p.... ....

    Saw Gene a few years ago. He was great. I do wish he would've sang this song though. My all time favourite song by him.
    He even signed autographs after the show. That was a first for me at any concert I have been to. To me it proved that Gene loves his fans as much as we love him.

  33. A.... J....

    saw gene in Beaumont Texas very talented man great show he is just one of the many great singers Texas had been blessed to have

  34. J.... A....

    Maybe I should been listening for many more years.

  35. J.... K....

    This guy isn't in the Country Music Hall Of Fame?????

    J.... K....

    - Jim he isn't in the hall of fame because he didn't play the nashville game of course after he has passed on they will probably put him in

  36. h.... A....

    My favorite song by Gene Watson

  37. D.... B....

    Gene you are the greatest. love all of your music..

  38. A.... B....

    Love to meet you Gene. Someday i pray.

    A.... B....

    Another damn groupie with a wet pussy

  39. L.... E....

    I love all Gene songs met him 38 in Waukegan ILl

  40. G.... D....

    I love everything by Gene Watson but this song I love, love, love. He is ooh soo very good. He is one of the best singers out there today. Have been a long time fan and will continue to be till I breathe my last breath. His voice is as good today as when he first started out. Have seen him many, many times in concert. He has never failed to have a meet and greet after each show. He is so gracious to his fans. He is so caring and that's why he continues to have such an extensive fan base through the years.

    G.... D....

    +GerJoe Dev Gene is just a good guy and a real trooper. He stays out on the road. The man is a great entertainer

  44. s.... u....

    I SING SEVERAL OF GENES SONGS AND THE PEOPLE JUST LOVE HIS SONGS
    THANK YOU GENE WATSON !

  45. A.... W....

    This is a beautiful song sung with so much emotion by one of our greatest Country singers ever, I LOVE IT !!!!

  46. H.... H....

    I'm so glad that Gene did, in fact, stick with traditional country. If he hadn't we would have missed a whole lot of incredibly good and soulful music. Larry Gatlin once about Marty Robins, "I never heard him sing a bad note". I can say the same thing about Gene Watson, and I never heard him sing anything that wasn't his best effort. Extremely talented and so easy to listen to. I'm workin' on 72 and he is one of the best I've heard in my whole life. I wish him continued success and joy in his life. Thanks for music and the memories....

  58. O.... O....

    Thank you for posting this beautiful song by the Master!

  59. w.... ....

    @lonniebiz
    Sometimes he doesn't have the rights to a particular song. I was at a concert in the 90s and he wasn't able to sing songs off the Back In The Fire album then. It's changed since.

  60. D.... W....

    Actually, livingadream2, you forgot to mention that 'Gene' is his middle name. He was born Gary Gene Watson. Anyway, 'Maybe' hit #23 in Billboard, 8-15-81, God bless!

  61. T.... ....

    Gene is no stranger to pain. Just like us, he has had more than his share. His mind may draw on those feelings for the emotion to spill into his music.

  62. j.... ....

    Beautiful song, so well done by the Master of Soul, Gene Watson

  63. M.... B....

    I never get tired listening to Gene singing this one.. It is beautiful

    Margaret

  68. M.... ....

    It's hard not to fall in love with Gene...his voice is a little bit of heaven on earth. He's got the kind of voice I could listen & dance to all night long in the arms of the man I love! Thanks for the share, Durango! Lovely! Red

  69. K.... E....

    Nice song and great voice! ;)

  70. r.... ....

    THANKS Joan!.

  71. B.... S....

    The Guy who wrote this is one of my mentors. And my best friend on God's green earth .Thank you Buzz Rabin for such another great song . And thanks to Gene for doing a great job. You all should hear Jessie Colter's version or maybe Clinton Gregory's of this song.

  72. S.... A....

    All I can say is thank goodness for You Tube and the people like you who put time and effort into posting these clips. Without people like you, there are others out there who would not get to enjoy true country music the way it should be sung. It is a shame that we can't hear this music on stations today.

  73. o.... ....

    Gene does a bang up job of singing all his songs as if he's lived them. From what I understand he hasn't but he does put strong feelings into all of them, doesn't he!

  74. o.... ....

    Thank you for this one as well, livingadream2. I really appreciate being able to visit and listen to Gene Watson and his good music.
