"T-Bone" Burnett
We Don’t Live Here Anymore
[Verse 1]
Left turn off a county road
The weathervane is to the north
Oh, in the shade of sycamore
Is the house where you were born

[Verse 2]
Oh, in the cotton field below
We're tall and mighty, brick and stone
It don't feel like it did before
'Cause we don't live here anymore

[Chorus]
We don't (live here)
We don't live here
We don't live here anymore

[Verse 3]
Now 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

[Verse 4]
We're off the script, we're off the lease
Can't catch any decent sleep
Now let it flood, now let it pour
We don't live here anymore
[Chorus]
We don't (live here)
We don't live here
We don't live here anymore
We don't (live here)
We don't live here
We don't live here anymore

[Verse 5]
We 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

(We don't live here)
(We don't live here)

[Verse 6]
Glad I've got you here with me
Down in hell's half acre's infirmary
I hear that broom go across the floor
But we don't live here anymore

[Chorus]
We don't (live here)
We don't live here
We don't live here anymore
We don't (live here)
We don't live here
We don't live here anymore
