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
