This Used to Be the Home of Johnnie Mae

I wake up there's no smell of bacon fryin'

And it's hard realizin', she won't be home no more, no more

I go to work in rough dried shirts I can't call on my break

Oh, how it hurts to know she won't be home no more, no more

This dog of mine seems half alive, he misses her too

I can see it in his eyes, she never left before, before

This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae

This used to be the bed where Johnnie used to lay

But she's not here no more, no more

Let me talk to you for a minute now

I can't explain just how I feel, I can't believe that it's for real

She's not here no more

This used to be her easy chair

But the chair looks uneasy without her sittin' there

She never left before, before

Now and then her friends drop in

It takes my breath away when I have to say

She don't live here no more, no more

Oh

This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae

This used to be the yard where Johnnie used to play

But she don't live here no more, no more

She don't live here no more, no more

Oh

Oh, oh

Now and then her friends drop in

It takes my breath away when I have to say

She don't live here no more, no more

This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae

This used to be the bed where Johnnie used to lay

She's not here no more, no more

This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae

This used to be the bed where Johnnie used to lay

But she's not here no more, no more

Ooh, ooh

Woo-ooh, ooh

Mmm-mmm

Ooh, ooh

This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae

This used to be the bed where Johnnie used to lay

But she don't live here no more, no more
