Emily Scott Robinson
Borrowed Rooms and Old Wood Floors
[Verse 1]
Sorority sister, Mississippi
Old high school friend in Kansas City
The only thing that we have left to talk about are faded memories
I don't sleep at all or sleep too much
Can’t sleep through a crying baby or a garbage truck
There's a note out on the counter
Saying help yourself to anything that you please
[Chorus]
In borrowed rooms and old wood floors
I lay me down at night
You don't ask where home is anymore
It’s just borrowed rooms and old wood floors
[Verse 2]
Shower's hot, hope it lasts
Hair is getting longer down my back
I lean under the water, close my eyes
And let it wash me clean
I live in other people's homes
Finish up the pot of coffee when it's cold
But my mother raised me right
I always write a thank you note and strip the sheets
[Chorus]
In borrowed rooms and old wood floors
I lay me down at night
You don't ask where home is anymore
It's just borrowed rooms and old wood floors
[Bridge]
Was it this cold last year, I can't remember
The leaves are turnin' early for September
I wish that I could stick around
Another drive, another show, another stranger’s house
[Chorus]
In borrowed rooms and old wood floors
I lay me down at night
You don’t ask where home is anymore
It's just borrowed rooms and old wood floors
Borrowed rooms and old wood floors
