Nobody Home Lyrics - Singer Songwriter Collection: Lead Me On & Behind - Amy Grant

Main street U.S.A boarded up and dry 

Knowin' what once was here just makes me want to cry 

Used to be the favorite place 

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 

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 

Leaving behind the dusty dreams and broken glass 

Used to be a busy town 

Now, everybody passes through, but they don't stick around 

(Chorus) 

Was a newsstand 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 

(Chorus) 

(Final Chorus)
