Since You Ain't Home

Since you left I can't stay sober and I've let the grass grow over

Those pretty flowers that you planted when we moved in

And the paint has started peeling, down the hall, along the ceiling

Above the busted frame your picture's hangin' in

The carpet's wearin' through, where I dragged around these blues

And the curtain's torn in two, from me lookin' out for you

Once we held it all together, but I can't do it on my own

This old house has gone to pieces since you ain't home

Our TV won't get no picture, there's no light-bulb in the fixture

In our bedroom where you used to love on me

All the memories that we once shared, they're all locked forever in there

'Cause I locked the door and I can't find the key

More, the carpet's wearin' through, where I dragged around these blues

And the curtain's torn in two, from me lookin' out for you

Once we held it all together, but I can't do this on my own

This old house has gone to pieces since you ain't home

This old house has gone to pieces since you ain't home
