Nobody Home Lyrics by Amy Grant

Nobody Home

Main street u.s.a boarded up and dry
Knowin what once was here just makes me wanna cry
Used to be the favorite place
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 boomin town
All thats left is either broken up or broken down

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, runnin from the past
Leaving behind the dusty dreams and broken glass
Used to be a busy town
Now, everybody passes through, but they dont stick around
[chorus]

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
Laugh and run away
Now, theres no one left who knows the truth in what you say
[chorus]
[final chorus]
