Steppenwolf - Nobody Lives Here Anymore lyrics

Words and music by John Kay I fried in the sun just outside San Bernadino Flagged me a ride in a rattletrap ford Rollin' back east to the northern border I'm back in town to find my favorite folk But nobody knowsâ?¦and nobody cares 'Cause nobody plays here, nobody stays here Nobody lives here anymore I drift by the winos near the greyhound station Searching for shelter like a castaway But there are lookers and lechers in a pagan bookstore That once held a home where I could sing and play Nothing is left but the faded street signs To tell me that I knew this place before 'Cause nobody plays here, nobody stays here Nobody lives here anymore Everyone warned me not to look for memories Nothing at all ever remains the same Now I'm turning around, I'm rollin' back home Leaving no one behind that will remember my name But nobody knowsâ?¦and nobody cares 'Cause nobody plays here, nobody stays here Nobody lives here anymore
