Dee Henry - House on Old Lonesome Road lyrics

[Verse 1: Conway Twitty] Every night it's the same old grind And I leave work at five o'five Been doing my best to forget about her But she's driving me out of my mind [Verse 2] When I get home I know what I'll find How I wish that it wasn't so There'll be no one there to hold me tonight In that house on Old Lonesome Road [Verse 3] I recall how we laughed When we read the name In the paper before we moved in And after we did our friends all asked If that house was lonesome back then [Verse 4] We were so young, our dreams were so new There's just no way that we could have known The irony of the place where we loved That house on Old Lonesome Road [Chorus] It's only shingles and shutters And a case of worn-out stairs Just like my old heart they need repair Maybe I should sell it Yeah, maybe that would be the best Maybe then someone else could find Some love at that address [Verse 5] I used to love that old house so much Back before she went away Now everything there is just gathering dust I should clean it up if I'm gonna stay [Verse 6] But I don't have too much time anymore I'm too busy talking to ghosts 'Cause her memory keeps me company In that house on Old Lonesome Road [Chorus] It's only shingles and shutters And a case of worn-out stairs Just like my old heart they need repair Maybe I should sell it Yeah, maybe that would be the best Maybe then someone else could find Some love at that address [Repeat Verse 1] Every night it's the same old grind And I leave work at five o'five Been doing my best to forget about her But she's driving me out of my mind
