I see the phone hangin’ on the wall
how I wish it would ring
I’ve got a boy down south, living in Tennessee
he’s got three boys, two girls; who look just like him
I wonder if they ever hear about me
getting old ain’t for the weak
you learn that as you go
all the things you thought you need
don’t mean a damn and the years go so slow, so slow
and the snow is falling down all day
around this house where once the children played
and you wanna run on down the road
but you got nowhere to go
scrapbook on the coffee table, covered in dust
memories you try to hold onto
memories covered in rust
empty pages, she never got to fill
empty chairs, an empty table
an empty home for 15 years
and the snow keeps falling down all day
around this house where once the children played
and you wanna run on down the road
but you got nowhere to go
no you got nowhere to go
and the snow keeps falling down all day
around this house where once our children played
and you’re so tired of being alone
but you got nowhere to go
no you got nowhere to go
no I got nowhere to go
I see the phone hanging on the wall
how I wish it would ring
