Since you left I can't stay sober   And I've let the grass grow over   Those pretty flowers that you planted when we moved in   And the paint has started peeling   Down the hall, along the ceiling   Above the busted frame your picture's hangin in.      Chorus:   And the carpet's wearin through, where I dragged around these blues   And the curtain's torn in two, from me lookin out for you   Once we held it all together, but I can't do it on my own   This old house has gone to pieces since you ain't home.      Our TV won't get no picture   There's no lightbulb in the fixture   In our bedroom where you used to love on me   All the memories that we once shared   They're all locked forever in there   'Cause I locked the door and I can't find the key.      Chorus:   And the carpet's wearin through, where I dragged around these blues   And the curtain's torn in two, from me lookin out for you   Once we held it all together, but I can't do it on my own   This old house has gone to pieces since you ain't home.      This old house has gone to pieces since you ain't home...
