Tammy Cochran Nobody's Home
I live in a big house
Designer names with a room to roam
A circled drive, a car paid for
But still I wish for somethin? more
So many people in small houses
They?ve got ?em filled clear up to the rafters
With big wings and Barbie dolls
Crayola pictures on the wall
I call out nobody?s name at the end of a long day
Make dinner at five for one in the microwave
I wash the fork and throw the plate away
Then the light with the timer comes on
This beautiful house I own is nobody?s home
Sometimes I just drive for hours
Takin? in all I?m missin?
The picket fence, the kiddy pools
The after work barbeques
And I see kids jumpin' up and down
On a trampoline in their backyard
The laughter?s loud, not a moment?s peace
And one?s cryin? because he scraped his knee
I call out nobody?s name at the end of a long day
Make dinner at five for one in the microwave
I wash the fork and throw the plate away
Then the light with the timer comes on
This beautiful house I own is nobody?s home
Where this house is now I hope a home will be
For now this front porch mat is all that welcomes me
I call out nobody?s name at the end of a long day
Make dinner at five for one in the microwave
I wash the fork and throw the plate away
Then the light with the timer comes on
This beautiful house I own is nobody?s home
Nobody?s home
I call out nobody?s name
Nobody?s home
Nobody?s home
