House On Old Lonesome Road

Every night it's the same old plan

And I leave work at five-o-five

Been doing my best to forget about her

But she's driving me out of my mind

When I get home, I know what I'll find

How I wish that it wasn't so

There'll be no one there to hold me tonight

In that house on old lonesome road

I recall how we laughed

When we read the name

In the paper before we moved in

And after we did our friends all asked

If that house was lonesome back then

We were so young, our dreams were so new

There's just no way that we could have known

The irony of the place where we loved

That house on old lonesome road

It's only shingles and shutters

And a case of worn out stairs

Just like my old heart they need repair

Maybe I should sell it

Yeah, maybe that would be the best

Maybe then someone else could find

Some love at that address

I used to love that old house so much

Back before she went away

Now everything there is just gathering dust

I should clean it up if I'm gonna stay

But I don't have too much time anymore

I'm too busy talking to ghosts

'Cause her memory, keeps me company

In that house on old lonesome road

It's only shingles and shutters

And a case of worn out stairs

Just like my old heart they need repair

Maybe I should sell it

Yeah, maybe that would be the best

Maybe then someone else could find

Some love at that address

Every night it's the same old plan

And I leave work at five-o-five

Been doing my best to forget about her

But she's driving me out of my mind
