No Vacancy

Cliff Stone, Merle Travis

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 seem to find
Hangin' out the door that same old sign
My heart beats slower when I read on a door, no vacancy

No vacancy, no vacancy
All along the line the same old sign awaitin' for me
No vacancy, no vacancy
My heart beats slower when I read on a door, no vacancy

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
Now the mighty war is over and won
Trouble and trials just begun
I face that terrible enemy, no vacancy

No vacancy, no vacancy
All along the line the same old sign awaitin' for me
No vacancy, no vacancy
My heart beats slower when I read on a door, no vacancy

Brother if you're livin' a life of 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 the hand of fate
Will remove that sign on the door, no vacancy

No vacancy, no vacancy
Ev'rywhere I go the same old sign awaitin' for me
No vacancy, no vacancy
My heart beats slower when I read on a door no vacancy
