Grant Amy Nobody Home Lyrics

Nobody Home Lyrics

Written by Glen Ballard & Siedah Garrett

 

 Main street U.S.A boarded up and dry

 Knowing what once was here just makes me want to cry

 Used to be the favorite place, yeah

 Now what remains are memories even time cannot erase

 

 Old man Johnson's store, where we grew up too fast

 All that remains today are echoes from the past

 Used to be a booming town, yeah

 Now all that's left is either broken up or broken down

 

 Chorus:

 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

 

 Packed up, moved away, running from the past

 Leaving behind the dusty dreams and broken glass

 Used to be a busy town, yeah

 Now everybody passes through, but they don't stick around

 

 (Repeat Chorus)

 

 Oh, was a newsstand on the corner

 Right next to the barber shop

 And down the street there

 That's where all the kids would stop

 And they would tease the neighbor's bulldog

 And laugh and run away

 And now there's no one left

 Who knows the truth in what you say

 

 Now everybody passes through, but they don't stick around

 

 (Repeat Chorus)

 Oh, oh, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh

 Where we used to belong

 There ain't nobody home

 Talk all you want

 But, ain't nobody home

 Knock all you want

 But, ain't nobody home
