They Bought The House Next Door

(album: George Jones & Melba Montgomery - 1968)

I must pack up my things and start moving
Due to circumstances beyond my control
They were married yesterday, but I still love him
And now I've learned, they bought the house next door

They'll be moving in first thing tomorrow morning
I'll be watching from my window, and I'll cry
All I'll be to him is just a next-door neighbor
But all he is to me is everything in life

In a day or two, I'll wind up all my business
I can't live in this old lonesome house no more
It's hard enough to know that I have lost him
And to make things worse, they bought the house next door

In a day or two, I'll wind up all my business
I can't live in this old lonesome house no more
It's hard enough to know that I have lost him
And to make things worse, they bought the house next door
