This Used to Be the Home of Johnnie Mae

This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae
This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae
She never left before, before
This used to be the bed where Johnnie used to lay
I go to work in rough dried shirts I can't call on my break

When I have to say she don't live here no more, no more
But she's not here no more, no more

But she's not here no more, no more

This dog of mine seems half alive, he misses her too
This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae
Now and then her friends drop in, it takes my breath away
This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae

This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae
But the chair looks uneasy without her sitting there
This used to be the yard where Johnnie used to play

This used to be the bed where Johnnie used to lay
Let me talk to you for a minute now
She's not here no more, no more, this used to be her easy chair
She don't live here no more, no more

Now and then her friends drop in, it takes my breath away
I can't explain just how I feel, I can't believe that it's for real
But she don't live here no more, no more
I can see it in his eyes, she never left before, before
This used to be the bed where Johnnie used to lay
When I have to say, she don't live here no more, no more

This used to be the bed where Johnnie used to lay
Oh, how it hurts to know she won't be home no more, no more
But she's not here no more, no
