Ricky Nelson - No Vacancy lyrics

rate me

(Merle Travis - Cliffie Stone)

All along the road of life I roam

Lookin' for a place to call my own

Not a fancy mansion or a bungalow for me

Everywhere I go I see defined

Hangin' out the door that same ole sign

My heart beats slower when I read on the door, no vacancy.

No vacancy, no vacancy

All along the line the same ole sign await for me

No vacancy, no vacancy

My heart beats slower when I read on the door, no vacancy.

--- Instrumental ---

Not so very long ago it seemed

Many a happy dream I dreamed

Of a little nest where I could rest and the world was free

Not a mighty war is over and won

Trouble and trials just begun

I face the terrible enemy, no vacancy.

No vacancy, no vacancy

All along the line the same ole sign await for me

No vacancy, no vacancy

My heart beats slower when I read on the door, no vacancy.

--- Instrumental ---

Brother if you live a life at ease

You'd better take a moment on your knees

Thank the Lord above for all he's done for you

Livin' in a world of grief and hate

Hopin' every day that a hand of fate

Will remove that sign on the door, no vacancy.

No vacancy, no vacancy

All along the line the same ole sign await for me

No vacancy, no vacancy

My heart beats slower when I read on the door, no vacancy...
