Big Ol' Empty House Lyrics - Steve Wariner

She walked up to the doorway 

Of a mansion on the hill 

Was a sign for sale by owner 

Taped up on the windowsill 

The man said let me tell you 

A little about this place 

And as he spoke she noticed 

A tear roll down his face 

[Chorus:] 

It's a big ol' empty house 

Where there used to be a home 

There's a big ol' broken heart 

That's been living there alone 

If you fill it up with love 

Oh, that's what it's all about 

If you don't you'll wind up livin' 

In a big ol' empty house 

She pulled out a blank check 

Took a pen and signed her name 

She said both our situations 

Seems like they're one and the same 

She said all this money 

Is just what I settled for 

But what I really wanted 

I guess we could not afford 

[Chorus]
