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
