Nobody Home

Main street u s a boarded up and dry

Knowin what once was here just makes me wanna cry

Used to be the favorite place

Now what remains are memories even time cannot erase

Old man johnsons store where we grew up too fast

All that remains today are echoes from the past

Used to be a boomin town

All thats left is either broken up or broken down

Singing oh ah oh ah oh ah oh

Where we used to belong

There aint nobody home

Said oh ah oh ah oh ah oh

You can knock all you want

But aint nobody home

Packed up moved away runnin from the past

Leaving behind the dusty dreams and broken glass

Used to be a busy town

Now everybody passes through but they dont stick around

Said 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

Was a newsstand on the corner

Right next to the barber shop

And down the street there

Thats where all the kids would stop

And they would tease the neighbors bulldog

Laugh and run away

Now theres no one left who knows the truth in what you say

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

Knock all you want

But ain't nobody home

Knock all you want

But ain't nobody home
