No Vacancy

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 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 As I face that terrible enemy sign, "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"
