merle travis - no vacancy lyrics
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.
but ev’rywhere i go i seem to find
hangin’ on the door that same old sign,
and my heart beats slower when i read on the door, “no
vacancy.”
chorus:
no vacancy, no vacancy —
all along the line it’s the same old sign waitin’ for
me.
no vacancy, no vacancy —
and my heart beats slower when i read on the door,
“no vacancy.”
not so long ago when the bullets screamed,
many was the happy dream i dreamed
of a little nest where i could rest when the world was
free.
now the mighty war over there is won,
troubles and trials have just begun
facing that terrible enemy sign, “no vacancy.”
[chorus]
brother, if you live a life of ease,
better take a moment on your knees;
thank the lord above for all his love, then think of
me,
livin’ in a world of greed and hate,
hoping ev’ry day the hand of fate
will remove that sign that’s a-hangin’ on the door, “no
vacancy.”
[chorus]
