The old dirt road still winds by the hill The house still has that country air And memories live everywhere But there's nobody home
The winter sun still warms the sky And from the rooftop, sparrows fly I know the mailman passes by But there's nobody home
The swing hangs empty on the front porch now But I can close my eyes and see Momma sittin' there shelling butterbeans Waiting for papa or waiting for me
I see the upstairs window pane Where I would stand and watch the rain Or listen to the evening train But there's nobody home
The swing hangs empty on the front porch now But I can close my eyes and I can see Momma sittin' there shelling butterbeans Waiting for papa or waiting for me
I see the upstairs window pane Where I would stand, I'd watch the rain Or listen to the evening train But there's nobody home Or listen to the evening train But there's nobody home
