STANDING ROOM ONLY
(Charles Silver / Susan Manchester)


Barbara Mandrell - 1976



 

You must think my bed's a bus stop the way you come and go
I ain't seen you with the lights on two nights in a row
So pack your rusty razor, don't bother with goodbye
Your cup runneth over, but mine is always dry

Standing room only, I can't stand no more
Standing room only, outside my door

Don't help me set the table 'cause now there's one less place
I won't lay mama's silver for a man who won't say grace
If home is where the heart is, then your home's on the streets
Me, I'll read a good book, turn out the lights and go to sleep

Standing room only, I can't stand no more, no more
Standing room only, outside my door

Standing room only, I can't stand no more, no more
Standing room only, outside my door
