Big Ol' Empty House - Steve Wariner

She walked up to the doorway

Of a mansion on the hill

Was a sign for sale by owner

Taped up on the windowsill

The man said let me tell you

A little about this place

And as he spoke she noticed

A tear roll down his face

It’s a big ol' empty house

Where there used to be a home

There’s a big ol' broken heart

That’s been living there alone

If you fill it up with love

Oh, that’s what it’s all about

If you don’t you’ll wind up livin'

In a big ol' empty house

She pulled out a blank check

Took a pen and signed her name

She said both our situations

Seems like they’re one and the same

She said all this money

Is just what I settled for

But what I really wanted

I guess we could not afford

There’s a big ol' empty house

Where there used to be a home

There’s a big ol' broken heart

That’s been living in there alone

If you fill it up with love

Oh, that’s what it’s all about

If you don’t you’ll wind up livin'

In a big ol' empty house

If you don’t you’ll wind up livin'

In a big ol' empty house…
