Nobody's Home - Tammy Cochran
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
They've got 'em filled
Clear up to the rafters
With big wings and Barbie dolls
Crayola pictures on the wall
I call out nobody's 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 nobody's home
Sometimes I just
Drive for hours
Takin' in all
I'm 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 laughter's loud
Not a moment's peace
And one's cryin' because
He scraped his knee
I call out nobody's 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 nobody's 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 nobody's 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 nobody's home
Nobody's home
I call out nobody's name
Nobody's home
Nobody's home
