THIS AIN'T A HOME NO MORE
(Redd Stewart)


Leona Williams - 1968


You made a solemn promise to change the things you do
And because of our two children I believed and trusted you
But you haven't changed one little thing, you're worse now than before
We just got tired of waitin', this ain't a home no more

We just got tired of livin' this ol' lonesome life
With your drinkin' and the other things you do
To you I'm just a mother, you don't want a wife
Well the children sure don't need a dad like you

Tomorrow when you sober up and you come stumblin' home
I hope you drown in teardrops when you find you're all alone
I'm takin' both the children and I'm walkin' out the door
We just got tired of waitin', this ain't a home no more

(Instrumental Break)

I'm takin' both the children and I'm walkin' out the door
We just got tired of waitin', this ain't a home no more
We just got tired of waitin', this ain't a home no more
