Someone's Walkin' Around Upstairs
George Strait · Ocean Front Property [MCA] [1987]
(David Anthony - Paul A.Maloy)
Someone's walking 'round upstairs, I can hear him
And he just got up from sleepin' in our bed
When I wake up and realize I was dreamin'
But even when I'm strong awake
I can't get it out my head.
'Cause I know someone's goin' to take my place
And walk up that ol' stairway
To the room where I walked out on you
Please understand, I couldn't stay
I see a two story house with someone new
Warmin' up my bed
Someone's walkin' 'round up stairs
And I can't get it out of my head.

'Cause I know someone's going to take my place
And walk up that ol' stairway
To the room where I walked out on you
Please understand I couldn't stay
I see a two story house with someone new
Warmin' up my bed
Someone's walkin' 'round upstairs
And I can't get it out of my head.
Someone's walkin' 'round upstairs
And I can't get it out of my head...
Someone's walking 'round upstairs, I can hear him
And he just got up from sleepin' in our bed
When I wake up and realize I was dreamin'
But even when I'm strong awake
I can't get it out my head.
'Cause I know someone's goin' to take my place
And walk up that ol' stairway
To the room where I walked out on you
Please understand, I couldn't stay
I see a two story house with someone new
Warmin' up my bed
Someone's walkin' 'round up stairs
And I can't get it out of my head.

And I can't get it out of my head.
Someone's walkin' 'round upstairs
