LOVE AIN'T THE ONLY THING
(MISSING FROM OUR HOME)

LYRICS:

Verse One
When I got out of work last night I took the long way home,
 ‘Cause fightin’ with you everyday has worn me to the bone,
When I pulled in I wondered when one of us would go,
My headlights down the driveway told me all I need to know
 
Chorus
Empty holes where all the doors and windows used to be,
The couch, the chairs, the front porch stairs, they’re nowhere to be seen,
You took the cat, my cowboy hat, and my fancy French cologne, now
Love ain’t the only thing missing from our home.
 
Verse Two
The boys down at the car wash told me all about your wicked ways, like
How you call your old boyfriends then disappear for days, but
Like a fool, I married you, & forgave all your sins, and when
You left and didn’t even leave behind a lurch to leave me in.
 
Chorus
Empty holes where all the doors and windows used to be,
The couch, the chairs, the front porch stairs, they’re nowhere to be seen,
You took the car, my gold guitar, and my brand new photo phone, now
Love ain’t the only thing missing from our home.
 
Verse Three
Someday when I find you honey, I swear I won’t get rough,
I’ll just rent a big U-Haul and then I’ll take back all my stuff,
Until then, I’m livin’ in this big, ol’ drafty shed, with
Nothin’ but your memories blowin’ through my head.
 
Chorus
Empty holes where all the doors and windows used to be,
The couch, the chairs, the front porch stairs, they’re nowhere to be seen,
You took the pool, my power tools, and left me all alone, now
Love ain’t the only thing missing from our home, I said
Love ain’t the only thing, love ain’t the only thing-
 
Spoken: 
You only left your wedding ring,
 Now all I got’s this song to sing...
 
Love ain’t the only thing missing from our home.
