Nobody Home

Main Street U.S.A., boarded up and dry

Knowin' what once was here just makes me wanna cry

Used to be the favorite place here

Now what remains are memories even time cannot erase

Old man Johnson's store where we grew up too fast

All that remains today are echoes from the past

Used to be a boomin' town yeah

Now all that's left is either broken up or broken down

Singing, "Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh"

Where we used to belong

There ain't nobody home

Said, "Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh"

You can knock all you want

But ain't nobody home

Packed up, moved away, runnin' from the past

Leavin' behind the dusty dreams and broken glass

Used to be a busy town now

Now everybody passes through but they don't stick around

Singing, "Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh"

Where we used to belong

There ain't nobody home

Said, "Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh"

You can knock all you want

But ain't nobody home

Oh was a news stand on the corner

Right next to the barber shop

And down the street there

That's where all the kids would stop

And they would tease the neighbor's bulldog

Laugh and run away

Now there's no one left who knows the truth in what you say

(Say)

Now everybody passes through but they don't stick around

Singing, "Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh"

Where we used to belong

There ain't nobody home

Said, "Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh"

You can knock all you want

But ain't nobody home

"Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh"

Where we used to belong

There ain't nobody home

Talk all you want

But ain't nobody home

Knock all you want

But ain't nobody home
