| 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
|
| And 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 lightbulb 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
|
| And 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
|
| This old house has gone to pieces since you ain’t home… |
