AMY GRANT - NOBODY HOME lyrics

Main street U.S.A. boarded up and dry

Knowing what once was here just makes me wanna cry

Used to be the favorite place, yeah

Now what remains are memories even time cannot erase

Old man Johnson's store, where we grew up too fast

All that remains today are echoes from the past

Used to be a booming town, yeah

Now all that's left is either boarded up or broken down

Singing, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh

Where we used to belong

There ain't nobody home

Said, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh

You can knock all you want

But ain't nobody home

Packed up, moved away, running from the past

Leaving behind the dusty dreams and broken glass

Used to be a busy town, yeah

Now everybody passes through, but they don't stick around

Singing, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh

Where we used to belong

There ain't nobody home

Said, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh

You can knock all you want

But ain't nobody home

Oh, was a newsstand on the corner

Right next to the barber shop

And down the street there

That's where all the kids would stop

And they would tease the neighbor's bulldog

Laugh and run away

And now there's no one left

Who knows the truth in what you say

Now everybody passes through, but they don't stick around

Singing, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh

Where we used to belong

There ain't nobody home

Said, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh

You can knock all you want

But ain't nobody home

Oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh

Where we used to belong

There ain't nobody home

Talk all you want but there ain't nobody home
