Left turn off a county road The weathervane is to the north In the shade of sycamore Is the house where you were born In the cotton fields below Tall and mighty, brick and stone Don't feel like it did before 'Cause we don't live here anymore We don't live here We don't live here We don't live here anymore That ain't country in their voice They ain't no local boys Landlord's daughter is at the door Saying we don't live here anymore We're off the script, we're off the lease Can't catch any decent sleep Let it flood, let it pour We don't live here anymore We don't live here We don't live here We don't live here anymore Been working hard to the bone Face down, nose to the grindstone If God is working I wish he'd say so Maybe he don't live here anymore Glad I've got you here with me Down in hell's half acre's infirmary Hear that broom go across the floor But we don't live here anymore We don't live here We don't live here We don't live here anymore
