No Vacancy - Merle Travis

All along the road of life I roam

Lookin' for a place to call my own

Not a fancy mansion or a bungalow for me

But ev'rywhere I go I seem to find

Hangin' on the door that same old sign

And my heart beats slower when I read on the door

No Vacancy

No Vacancy No Vacancy

All along the line it's the same old sign waitin' for

Me

No Vacancy No Vacancy

And my heart beats slower when I read on the door

No Vacancy

Not so long ago when the bullets screamed

Many was the happy dream I dreamed

Of a little nest where I could rest when the world was free

Now the mighty war over there is won

Troubles and trials have just begun

Facing that terrible enemy sign No Vacancy

No Vacancy No Vacancy

All along the line it's the same old sign waitin' for me

No Vacancy No Vacancy

And my heart beats slower when I read on the door

No Vacancy

Brother if you live a life of ease

Better take a moment on your knees

Thank the Lord above for all

His love then think of me

Livin' in a world of greed and hate

Hoping ev'ry day the hand of fate

Will remove that sign that's a-hangin' on the door

No Vacancy

No Vacancy No Vacancy

All along the line it's the same old sign waitin' for me

No Vacancy No Vacancy

And my heart beats slower when I read on the door

No Vacancy
