My front door is still
standing open
When my baby just walked
out to say goodbye
She left me nothing, nothing but sorrow
And a heart sad and sick enough to die
She stopped just long enough,
long enough to tell me
That she wouldn't be coming home
no time soon
And then she walked right out
and left me here to cry the blues
In this great big old empty room
When she walked out I turned around
Then right before my eyes
was a picture of her hanging on a wall
Then like a baby, just like a baby
I sat right down
and started to squawk
Those tears kept fallin', Lord,
the tears kept fallin'
But those teardrops couldn't
ease me and my gloom
Cause although she was gone,
her memories lingered on
in this great big old empty room
This room is lonely,
its walls are grey just
like my heart
Since she's gone, it's empty inside
Since my one and only
packed up and went away
I sit here in this empty room
and cry, cry, cry
I can't stand it, Lord, I can't stand it
That woman meant the world to me
But she just walked right out and left me
In this great big empty room
With nothing but my memories
I'm gonna keep my front
door standin' open
I'm gonna keep it standin'
wide so I can see
Cause in my heart,
in my heart I'm hopin'
That someday she'll come back to me
If all these heartaches,
all this sorrow,
all this misery would come to an end
If she'd come walking
through the front door
of this great big empty room
And to my empty arms again
Homie, homie, homie
