From the recording OFF THE ROAD
Lyrics
AIN'T NOBODY HOME
words & music by Grayson Hugh
Jungle vines are creepin'
on the palace steps
on the marble floor
there's moss in the cracks
through the shattered stained glass
comes the sunset on the wall
there's a snake in the swimmin' pool
and guns in the hall
They're gone
ain't nobody home tonight
they're gone
ain't nobody home tonight
yeah they're long-gone
Don't know where they went to
didn't leave a note
didn't take the airplane
didn't take the boat
might have been the river
in the middle of the night
risin' through the bedroom
in the cold moonlight
They're gone
ain't nobody home tonight
they're gone
ain't nobody home tonight
I said they're long-gone
Interrupted
gone without a clue
now the house is empty
and we don't know
we don't know what to do
Now the throne is empty
and the phone is dead
we're talkin' to the spirits
down to the river bed
They're gone
ain't nobody home tonight
they're gone
ain't nobody home tonight
they're gone
ain't nobody home tonight
they're gone
ain't nobody home tonight
