[Verse 1]
All along the road of life I roam
Looking for a place to call my own
Not a fancy mansion or a bungalow for me
Everywhere I go, I seem to find
Hanging on the door that same ole sign
My heart beats slow when I read on the door, "No vacancy"

[Chorus]
No vacancy, no vacancy
All along the line, it's the same ole sign
A-waiting for me
No vacancy, no vacancy
My heart beats slower when I read on the door
"No vacancy"

[Verse 2]
Not so long ago it seems
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
Faced that terrible enemy, no vacancy

[Chorus]
No vacancy, no vacancy
All along the line, it's the same ole sign
A-waiting for me
No vacancy, no vacancy
My heart beats slower when I read on the door
"No vacancy"
[Verse 3]
Brother, if you live a life of ease
You 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
Hoping every day that the hand of fate
Will remove that sign on the door, "No vacancy"

[Chorus]
No vacancy, no vacancy
All along the line, it's the same ole sign
A-waiting for me
No vacancy, no vacancy
My heart beats slower when I read on the door
"No vacancy"
