Just an old house with the roof falling in
Standing at the edge of the field
Watching the crops grow as it's always done before
Nobody lives here any more
 
The sun's going down in the Carolina pines
I'm a long way from home and I miss that love of mine
Broken windows, empty doors
Nobody lives here any more
 
Old memories come whistling like the wind
Through the walls and the cracked window panes
And the grass is growing high around the cabin door
Nobody lives here any more
 
The sun's going down in the Carolina pines
I'm a long way from home and I miss that love of mine
Broken windows, empty doors
Nobody lives here any more
 
Once there were children and a few hired hands
A hard-working woman and a bone-tired man
Now that old sun steals across a dusty floor
Nobody lives here any more
 
The sun's going down in the Carolina pines
I'm a long way from home and I miss that love of mine
Broken windows, empty doors
Nobody lives here any more

The sun's going down in the Carolina pines
I'm a long way from home and I miss that love of mine
Broken windows, empty doors
Nobody lives here any more
