[Verse 1] Every night its the same old grind And I leave work at 505 Been doing my best to forget about her But shes driving me out of my mind [Verse 2] When I get home I know what Ill find How I wish that it wasnt so Therell 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 Theres just no way that we could have known The irony of the place where we loved That house on Old Lonesome Road [Chorus] Its only shingles and shutters And a case of wornout 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 You might also like[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 Im gonna stay [Verse 6] But I dont have too much time anymore Im too busy talking to ghosts Cause her memory keeps me company In that house on Old Lonesome Road [Chorus] Its only shingles and shutters And a case of wornout 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 its the same old grind And I leave work at 505 Been doing my best to forget about her But shes driving me out of my mind
