No Vacancy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All along the road of life I roam
Lookin' for a place to call my own
Not a fancy mansion or a bungalow for me
Everywhere I go I see defined
Hangin' out the door that same ole sign
My heart beats slower when I read on the door, no vacancy.
No vacancy, no vacancy
All along the line the same ole sign await for me
No vacancy, no vacancy
My heart beats slower when I read on the door, no vacancy.
--- Instrumental ---
Not so very long ago it seemed
Many a happy dream I dreamed
Of a little nest where I could rest and the world was free
Not a mighty war is over and won
Trouble and trials just begun
I face the terrible enemy, no vacancy.
No vacancy, no vacancy
All along the line the same ole sign await for me
No vacancy, no vacancy
My heart beats slower when I read on the door, no vacancy.
--- Instrumental ---
Brother if you live a life at ease
You'd better take a moment on your knees
Thank the Lord above for all he's done for you
Livin' in a world of grief and hate
Hopin' every day that a hand of fate
Will remove that sign on the door, no vacancy.
No vacancy, no vacancy
All along the line the same ole sign await for me
No vacancy, no vacancy
My heart beats slower when I read on the door, no vacancy...
