Walking down memory lane
Through my old neighborhood
There on the corner of First and Pain
My old homeplace stood
Boarded up and bolted shut
With a sign that read "Condemned"
Reminders of the life there was
The way things might have been

But I don't live there anymore
Where pain once held my heart
Behind locked doors
No, I don't have to live there
No, I don't live there anymore
Your love has brought еach wall down
Board by board
So I don't have to live therе
No, I don't have to live there anymore

I looked inside the living room
Where there's really been no living at all
The love inside all cracked and dry
Was fading from the walls
Oh, the gloom that fills those rooms
And haunts those creaking floors
Are memories reminding me
I won't live there anymore
No, I don't live there anymore
Where pain once held my heart
Behind locked doors
No, I don't have to live there
No, I don't live there anymore
Your love has brought each wall down
Board by board
So I don't have to live there
No, I don't have to live there anymore

And the more I see
I'm no good here on my own
So keep Your lovin' arms around me
'Cause in Your arms I'm home

No, I don't live there anymore
Your love has brought each wall down
Board by board
So I don't have to live there
No, I don't have to live there anymore, oh...
