THERE'S NOBODY HOME TO GO HOME TO
(Dickey Lee / Allen Reynolds / Mitt Addington)

Dickey Lee - 1971



The neon lights are goin' out, the barmaid's half asleep
Soon they'll have to lock the door and I'll be on the street
About half as drunk as I need to be to face this night alone
While others sleep in lovin' beds, I'm just kickin' stones

'Cause there's nobody home to go home to
And I pray the Lord that somehow I'll get by
But there's nobody home to go home to
And tonight I'd like to lay me down to die

I see it in my foggy mind, the shutters and the doors
Where flowers bloomed and love once grew, a hundred years before
Where a girl with golden hair made my life a song
Then the picture fades away and all the world is wrong

'Cause there's nobody home to go home to
And I pray the Lord that somehow I'll get by
But there's nobody home to go home to
And tonight I'd like to lay me down to die
