Since you left I can't stay sober
And I've let the grass grow over
Those pretty flowers that you planted when we moved in
And the paint has started peeling
Down the hall, along the ceiling
Above the busted frame your picture's hangin in.

Chorus:
And the carpet's wearin through, where I dragged around these blues
And the curtain's torn in two, from me lookin out for you
Once we held it all together, but I can't do it on my own
This old house has gone to pieces since you ain't home.

Our TV won't get no picture
There's no lightbulb in the fixture
In our bedroom where you used to love on me
All the memories that we once shared
They're all locked forever in there
'Cause I locked the door and I can't find the key.

Chorus:
And the carpet's wearin through, where I dragged around these blues
And the curtain's torn in two, from me lookin out for you
Once we held it all together, but I can't do it on my own
This old house has gone to pieces since you ain't home.

This old house has gone to pieces since you ain't home...
