Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

A House Without Love Is Not A Home

For years we both have lived on pride, dear

And we agree that love is gone

Why, oh, why do we keep trying?

A house without love is not a home

The love light in your eyes has faded

And I'm contented just to roam

We slaved to gain a worthless treasure

A house without love is not a home

No matter where our footsteps wander

I know we'll both be all alone

With the pride that came between us

A house without love is not a home

The simple things have gone forever

We wasted wealth to call our own

Now we've searched the hour of parting

A house without love is not a home
