Nobody's Home

I live in a big house
Designer names with a room to roam
A circled drive, a car paid for
But still I wish for somethin more

So many people in small houses
Theyve got em filled clear up to the rafters
With big wings and Barbie dolls
Crayola pictures on the wall

I call out nobodys name at the end of a long day
Make dinner at five for one in the microwave
I wash the fork and throw the plate away
Then the light with the timer comes on
This beautiful house I own is nobodys home

Sometimes I just drive for hours
Takin in all Im missin
The picket fence, the kiddy pools
The after work barbeques

And I see kids jumpin' up and down
On a trampoline in their backyard
The laughters loud, not a moments peace
And ones cryin because he scraped his knee

I call out nobodys name at the end of a long day
Make dinner at five for one in the microwave
I wash the fork and throw the plate away
Then the light with the timer comes on
This beautiful house I own is nobodys home

Where this house is now I hope a home will be
For now this front porch mat is all that welcomes me

I call out nobodys name at the end of a long day
Make dinner at five for one in the microwave
I wash the fork and throw the plate away
Then the light with the timer comes on
This beautiful house I own is nobodys home

Nobodys home
I call out nobodys name
Nobodys home
Nobodys home
