(There's) Nobody Home to Go Home To

The neon lights are going out the barmaid's half asleep

Soon they'll have to close the door and put me on the street

About half as tight as I need to be to face this night alone

While others sleep in loving beds and I'm just kicking stones.

'Cause there's nobody home to go home to

And I pray the Lord that somehow I'll get by

But there's nobody home to go home to

And tonight I'd like to lay me down and cry.

I see it in my foggy mind the shutters and the doors

Where flowers bloom and love once grew a hundred years before

Where a girl I used to know made my life a song

Then the picture fades away and all the world is wrong.

'Cause there's nobody home to go home to

And I pray the Lord that somehow I'll get by

But there's nobody home to go home to

And tonight I'd like to lay me down and cry.

Yes, tonight I'd like to lay me down and cry...
