Willie Nelson - House Where Nobody Lives Lyrics

Willie Nelson - House Where Nobody Lives Lyrics 

There's a house on my block

That's abandoned and cold

The people moved out

A long time ago

And they took all their things

And they never came back

It looks like it's haunted

With the windows all cracked

Everyone calls it home

The house where no one lives

Once, it was held in laughter

Once, it held dreams

Did they throw it away?

Did they know what it means?

Did someone break your heart?

Or did someone do somebody wrong?

Well, the paint's all cracked

It was peeled off the wood

The papers were stacked

On the porch where I stood

And the weeds had grown up

Just as high as the door

There were birds in the chimney

And an old chest of drawers

Looks like no one will ever come back

To the house were nobody lives

Once, it was held in laughter

And, once, it held dreams

Did they throw it away?

Did they know what it means?

Did somebody's heart break?

Or did someone do somebody wrong?

So if you find someone

To have and to hold

Don't trade it for silver

Oh, don't trade it for gold

'Cause I have all of life's treasures

And they're fine and they're good

And they remind me that houses

Are just made of wood

What makes a house grand

Oh, it ain't the roof or the doors

If there is love in a house

It's a palace for sure

But without love

It ain't nothing but a house

A house where no one lives

Without love, it ain't nothin' but a house

A house where no one lives
