Little Jimmy Dickens - When A House Is Not A Home Lyrics

I walk up to my door and hate to turn the key

Emptiness is all that waits inside of me

That's how it is when the one you love is gone

That's how it is when your house is not a home

[ guitar ]

I look around and see things marked his and hers

Like these just make things that much worse

That's how it is when you live your life alone

That's how it is when your house is not a home

[ guitar ]

Is there a way up for soul so torn as mine

Each day I live I'm like a prisoner passing time

That's how it is ask any man who lives alone

That's how it is when your house is not a home
