Since You Ain't Home - Mark Chesnutt

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

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

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

This old house has gone to pieces since you ain’t home…
