This old House is as empty as my heart There four walls are closin in on me And I don't know where to start Cause if the night that she left me All the miles in between Whatever it is Lord is Killin me I guess lonely was a bad place to be Well I know that she missed me I can hear it in her voice Work call me away from home You know it never was my choice Guess she had all she could stand So she packed up and run Now the tables turn and all the pains on me I guess lonely was a bad place to be Now her side of the bed is cold And all that I have left to hold Is a whiskey bottle and her memory Her make up and her clothes are gone This house ain't really a home All that left is pain and misery I guess lonely was a bad place to be The flame in this old fire place is burnin' strong And my heart is feelin weak This picture that I'm holding is the only memory I can keep Well the trains left the tracks It ain't coming back And who's to blame the engineer is me I guess lonely was a bad place to be Now her side of the bed is cold And all that I have left to hold Is a whiskey bottle and her memory Her make up and her clothes are gone This house ain't really a home All that left is pain and misery I guess lonely was a bad place to be I guess lonely was a bad place to be
