Since You Ain't Home Lyrics - Chesnutt Mark

Since you left I can't stay sober 

And I've let the grass grow over 

Those pretty flowers that you planted when we moved in 

And the paint has started peeling 

Down the hall, along the ceiling 

Above the busted frame your picture's hangin in. 

Chorus: 

And the carpet's wearin through, where I dragged around these blues 

And the curtain's torn in two, from me lookin out for you 

Once we held it all together, but I can't do it on my own 

This old house has gone to pieces since you ain't home. 

Our TV won't get no picture 

There's no lightbulb in the fixture 

In our bedroom where you used to love on me 

All the memories that we once shared 

They're all locked forever in there 

'Cause I locked the door and I can't find the key. 

Chorus: 

And the carpet's wearin through, where I dragged around these blues 

And the curtain's torn in two, from me lookin out for you 

Once we held it all together, but I can't do it on my own 

This old house has gone to pieces since you ain't home.
