We Don't Live Here Anymore

Left turn off a county road

Weathervane is to the north

In the shade of sycamore

Is the house where you were born

In the cotton fields below

Tall and mighty, brick and stone

Don't feel like it did before

'Cause we don't live here anymore

We don't live here

We don't live here

We don't live here anymore

That ain't country in their voice

They ain't no local boys

Landlord's daughter is at the door

Saying we don't live here anymore

We're off the script, we're off the lease

Can't catch any decent sleep

Let it flood, let it pour

We don't live here anymore

We don't live here

We don't live here

We don't live here anymore

Been working hard to the bone

Face down, nose to the grindstone

If God is working, I'd wish he'd say so

Maybe he don't live here anymore

Glad I've got you here with me

Down in hell's half acre's infirmary

Hear that broom go across the floor

But we don't live here anymore

We don't live here

We don't live here

We don't live here anymore
