Nobody Home (From Behind the Eyes) Lyrics


Main Street U.S.A., boarded up and dry
Knowin' what once was here just makes me wanna cry
Used to be the favorite place here
Now what remains are memories even time cannot eraseOld man Johnson's store where we grew up too fast
All that remains today are echoes from the past
Used to be a boomin' town yeah
Now all that's left is either broken up or broken downSinging, "Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh"
Where we used to belong
There ain't nobody home
Said, "Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh"
You can knock all you want
But ain't nobody homePacked up, moved away, runnin' from the past
Leavin' behind the dusty dreams and broken glass
Used to be a busy town now
Now everybody passes through but they don't stick aroundSinging, "Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh"
Where we used to belong
There ain't nobody home
Said, "Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh"

You can knock all you want
But ain't nobody homeOh was a news stand on the corner
Right next to the barber shop
And down the street there
That's where all the kids would stop
And they would tease the neighbor's bulldog
Laugh and run away
Now there's no one left who knows the truth in what you say
(Say)Now everybody passes through but they don't stick around
Singing, "Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh"
Where we used to belong
There ain't nobody home
Said, "Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh"
You can knock all you want
But ain't nobody home"Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh"
Where we used to belong
There ain't nobody home
Talk all you want
But ain't nobody home
Knock all you want
But ain't nobody home

Amy Grant (born November 25, 1960) is an American Christian and pop singer-songwriter and has done some television. She has also sold 30 million albums world wide during her career.

Grant made her debut in 1977 under the guidance of Myrrh Records, and became the first Christian recording act to have an album be certified platinum. Following her marriage to Gary Chapman in 1982 and a subsequent deal between her record company and A&M Records, a series of successful pop-crossover records consolidated her position as both Christian music's highest-selling act and a formidable force in mainstream music, and according to Billboard magazine she was the most successful Christian recording artist of the 1980s and 1990s.



After giving birth to her fourth child Corinna Grant Gill, Grant returned to her gospel music roots with the 2002 release of Legacy...Hymns & Faith. The album featured a Vince Gill-influenced mix of bluegrass and gospel and marked Grant's 25th anniversary in the music industry. Grant followed this up with the pop release Simple Things in 2003. The album did not see the success of her previous pop efforts, and soon after the album, Amy and Interscope/A&M parted ways.

Grant released a sequel to her hymns collection in 2005 titled Rock of Ages... Hymns & Faith. Despite publicly musing that life would be easier if she weren't working, Grant joined the reality television phenomenon by hosting Three Wishes, a show in which she and a team of helpers make wishes come true for small-town residents. The show debuted on NBC in the fall of 2005, but was cancelled in November after 10 episodes. After Three Wishes was cancelled, Grant won her 6th Grammy Award for Rock of Ages.

In a February, 2006 webchat, Amy stated she believes her "best music is still ahead".

Amy Grant recorded a live cd/dvd album in early 2006 and it was released later in the year.

To date Amy Grant has sold more than 25 million records worldwide and is a 6 time Grammy winning artist.
