I try to stay busy I do the dishes, I mow the lawn I try to keep myself occupied Even though I know you're not comin' home I try to keep the house nice an' neat I make my bed, I change the sheets I even learned how to use the washin' machine Keeping things clean doesn't change anything What am I gonna do when I run out of shirts to fold? What am I gonna do when I run out of lawn to mow? What am I gonna do if you never come home? Tell me, oh what am I gonna do? Oh, hate it I hate it here
When you're gone I caught myself thinkin' I caught myself thinkin' once again I had to try to keep my mind outta this Try not to pretend I check the phone I check the mail I check the phone again, I call your mom She says you're not there and I should take care I hate it here When you're gone I hate it I hate it here When you're gone I try to stay busy I take out the trash, I sweep the floor Try to keep myself occupied 'Cause I know you don't live here anymore
