Down the street I watch you go

Like there's no tomorrow Where we know

And all those voices of joy and laughter
Am F
Well them new folks done moved them out

But if I listen close I can hear them

And all those voices of joy and laughter

Well them new folks done moved them out

It's just a matter of time
Am F
Cause I got nowhere left to call home
