this used to be the home of johnnie mae

i wake up there's no smell of bacon frying

and it's hard realizing she won't be home no more

no more

i go to work in rough dried shirts i can't call on my break

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 bed where johnnie used to lay

but she's not here no more

no more

let me talk to you for a minute now

i can't explain just how i feel

i can't believe that it's for real

she's not here no more

no more

this used to be her easy chair

but the chair looks uneasy without her sitting there

she never left before

before

now and then her friends drop in

it takes my breath away

when 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

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

when 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

but she's not here no more

no

this used to be the home of johnnie mae

this used to be the bed where johnnie used to lay

but she's not 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

but she don't live here no more

no more
