Empty

5. Empty – Linda McRae / Kelly Kessler – 4:15

No lock on the door, no shine on the floor
No laughter anymore - empty
No one’s lookin’ for supper cookin’
As forgotten as the local phone book
No porch light, no streetlight
Just a place you pass by on the highway
Empty as the heart that can’t afford a new start
Empty, Empty, Empty

At the bypass take a right
Not a lived-in house in site
This town popped up overnight - empty
Once stood so proud now left to fall down
A monument to credit hounds
No porch light, no streetlight
Just a place you pass by on the highway
Empty as the heart that can’t afford a new start
Empty, empty, empty

These unwanted houses scattered about
Like toys left out in the rain
No porch light, no streetlight
Just a place you pass by on the highway
Empty as the heart that can’t afford a new start
Empty, empty, empty
