The Home You're Tearin' Down

Loretta Lynn · Blue-Eyed Kentucky Girl [1976]

I don't know your name

I wouldn't know your face

But you're right with the one

I love out there someplace

You have an invitation

Feel free to come around

Come over anytime and see

The home you're tearin' down.



Once some happy faces would

Have met you at the door

But since their daddy's gone so much

They don't smile anymore

There's shattered parts of broken hearts

Just scattered all around

Come over anytime and see

The home you're tearin' down.



I'll dry all my tears

And have the coffee hot

Cause I can't sleep a wink no more

Time's all I've got

You'll see the price I'm payin'

For happiness you've found

Come over anytime and see

The home you're tearin' down.



You've told how much you loved him

You can surely tell me too

I'd like to know just what you've done

To make him turn to you

I swallow pride and hear your sigh

If you'll just come around

Come over anytime and see

The home you're tearin' down...
