I Don't Live There Anymore - The Imperials

Walking down memory lane

Through my old neighborhood

There on the corner of First and Pain

My old homeplace stood

Boarded up and bolted shut

With a sign that read «Condemned»

Reminders of the life there was

The way things might have been

But I don’t live there anymore

Where pain once held my heart

Behind locked doors

No, I don’t have to live there

No, I don’t live there anymore

Your love has brought ach wall down

Board by board

So I don’t have to live ther

No, I don’t have to live there anymore

I looked inside the living room

Where there’s really been no living at all

The love inside all cracked and dry

Was fading from the walls

Oh, the gloom that fills those rooms

And haunts those creaking floors

Are memories reminding me

I won’t live there anymore

No, I don’t live there anymore

Where pain once held my heart

Behind locked doors

No, I don’t have to live there

No, I don’t live there anymore

Your love has brought each wall down

Board by board

So I don’t have to live there

No, I don’t have to live there anymore

And the more I see

I’m no good here on my own

So keep Your lovin' arms around me

'Cause in Your arms I’m home

No, I don’t live there anymore

Your love has brought each wall down

Board by board

So I don’t have to live there

No, I don’t have to live there anymore, oh…
