Nobody Lives Here Anymore Lyrics

Nobody Lives Here Anymore lyrics

Words and music by John Kay







I fried in the sun just outside San Bernadino



Flagged me a ride in a rattletrap ford



Rollin' back east to the northern border



I'm back in town to find my favorite folk



But nobody knows…and nobody cares



'Cause nobody plays here, nobody stays here



Nobody lives here anymore







I drift by the winos near the greyhound station



Searching for shelter like a castaway



But there are lookers and lechers in a pagan bookstore



That once held a home where I could sing and play



Nothing is left but the faded street signs



To tell me that I knew this place before



'Cause nobody plays here, nobody stays here



Nobody lives here anymore







Everyone warned me not to look for memories



Nothing at all ever remains the same



Now I'm turning around, I'm rollin' back home



Leaving no one behind that will remember my name



But nobody knows…and nobody cares



'Cause nobody plays here, nobody stays here



Nobody lives here anymore
