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."
CHORUS:
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."
[CHORUS]
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."
[CHORUS]
