Nobody's Home - Clint Black

Clint Black
"Nobody's Home"
Released: 1989
Album: Killin' Time

Lyrics:
Move slowly to my dresser drawers
Put my blue jeans on
Find my cowboy boots, button down
Strap my timepiece on my arm

Grab my billfold, my pocket change
Just a mindless old routine
Then it's out the door and down the street
But it's not really me

I still comb my hair the same
Still like the same cologne
And I still drive that pickup truck
That the same old bank still owns
But since you left, everybody says
I'm not the guy they've known
The lights are on, but nobody's home

Cup of coffee in the morning
Its just food for the brain
But I've been numb since our last goodbye
I haven't felt a thing

But now there's pains in my head and pains in my chest
And I think I'm losing my hair
I'm a half a man with half a mind
To think you didn't care

I still comb my hair the same
Still like the same cologne
And I still drive that pickup truck
That the same old bank still owns
But since you left, everybody says
I'm not the guy they've known
The lights are on, but nobody's home

Since you left, everybody says
I'm not the guy they've known
The lights are on, but nobody's home

The lights are on, but nobody's home

[TungstenKid]

I can't make out half the words Clint sings. I definitely prefer the deep voice of Johnny Cash

[SteveNation2011]

[1GarySnail]

TRUE COUNTRY UNLIKE WHAT THEY ARE PLAYIN NOW DAYS THIS IS THE STUFF I GREW UP ON LOVE IT

@virtuousvoice Well said.

[virtuousvoice]

This is a great song from a great, albeit brief, period in modern country music. Clint Black, George Strait, Dwight Yoakam, Randy Travis and Alan Jackson were hard country kings in these days. Too bad Nashville decided to kill this music in favor of becoming the heartland feel-good poptart alternative to MTV. :(

of the younger of the older singers, mark chesnut makes good drinking songs too!

[TheShyguy109]

@mtf62 thumbs up for that...but I have to put George Jones above it. Still great music though.

[PyroMessiah1974]

The first country song I ever liked

[Hagfan789]

This is one great album..every song is great..Clint made this one back when he still had his balls..Once whats her name showed up his music went to hell..to bad really..he was a kick ass song writer/singer too.. A woman can make a man & break him too.
