This used to be the home of johnnie mae

I wake up there's no smell
of bacon frying and its hard realizing
she won't be home no more no more

I go to work in rough dried shirts
I can't call oh how it hurts to know
she won't be home no more no more

This dog of mine seems half alive
he misses her too I can see it in his eyes
she never left before before

This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae
this used to be the yard where Johnnie
used the bed where Johnnie used to lay in
but she don't live here no more no more

Let me talk to you for a minute

I can't explain just how I feel
I can't believe that is for real
she won't be home no more no more

This used to be her easy chair
but the chair looks uneasy
without her sitting here
she never left before before

Now and then her friends drop in
it takes my breath away but I have to say
she don't live here no more no more

This used to be the home of Johnnie mae
this used to be the yard where Johnnie used to play
in but she don't live here no more no more

(she don't live here no more no more)

Now and then her friends drop in
it takes my breath away but I have to say
she don't live here no more no more

This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae
this used to be the bed where Johnnie used to lay in
but she don't live here no more no more [2x]

ohhhh ohhhhh ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhhh....

This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae
this used to be the bed where Johnnie used to lay in
but she don't live her no more no more
