It's a little past supper time
I'm still out on the porch step
Sittin' on my behind, waiting for you
Wondering if everything was all right?
Momma said, "Come in boy don't waste your time."
I said, "I got time. Well he'll be here soon"
I was five years old and talkin to myself
Where were you? Where'd ya go?
Daddy can't you tell?
I'm not tryin' to fake it
And I ain't the one to blame
No, there's no one home
In my house of pain
I didn't write these pages and
My scripts been re-arranged
No, there's no one home
In my house of pain
No, there's no one home
In my house of pain
Wasn't I worth the time?
A boy needs a daddy like a dance to mime
And all the time I looked up to you
I paced my room a million times
And all I ever got was one big line
The same old lie. How could you?
I was eighteen, still talkin' to myself
Where were you? Where'd you go?
Daddy can't ya tell?
I'm not tryin' to fake it
And I ain't the one to blame
No, there's no one home
In my house of pain
I didn't write these pages and
My scripts been re-arranged
No, there's no one home
In my house of pain
No, there's no one home
In my house of pain
I was eighteen, still talkin' to myself
Oh, Where were you? Oh, Where'd you go?
Daddy can't ya tell?
I'm not tryin' to fake it
And I ain't the one to blame
No, there's no one home
In my house of pain
So I didn't write these pages and
My scripts been re-arranged
No, there's no one home
In my house of pain
No, there's no one home
In my house of pain
