Nobody Lives Here Anymore Lyrics - John Kay

I fried in the sun just outside San Bernadino 

Flagged me a ride in a rattletrap ford 

Rollin' back east to the northern border 

I'm back in town to find my favorite folk 

But nobody knowsâ?¦and nobody cares 

'Cause nobody plays here, nobody stays here 

Nobody lives here anymore 

I drift by the winos near the greyhound station 

Searching for shelter like a castaway 

But there are lookers and lechers in a pagan bookstore 

That once held a home where I could sing and play 

Nothing is left but the faded street signs 

To tell me that I knew this place before 

'Cause nobody plays here, nobody stays here 

Nobody lives here anymore 

Everyone warned me not to look for memories 

Nothing at all ever remains the same 

Now I'm turning around, I'm rollin' back home 

Leaving no one behind that will remember my name 

But nobody knowsâ?¦and nobody cares 

'Cause nobody plays here, nobody stays here 

Nobody lives here anymore
