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. But 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."
CHORUS: 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 Facing that terrible enemy sign, "No Vacancy."
[CHORUS]
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."
