Robert Cray - Great Big Old House Lyrics
Great Big Old House
Full of empty rooms
Nice family used to live there
But they had to move
Just the carpets on the floor
Is all of that remains
There used to be love, love, love
Used to be love, used to be love, used to be love,
Great big old house
Once was a home
Where is a laughter
Someone tells what have been done
No more children after school
Get together by the pool
Used to be love, used to be love, used to be love,
Used to be love, used to be love, used to be love,
Used to be a car and toys in the backway
Someone moowing the lawn
But the movingman came and the car was towed away
And they cut the gas and phone
And now the place is all alone (yeah)
Used to be love, used to be love, used to be love,
Used to be love, used to be love, used to be love,
Great big old dream,
Nothing but a pain
Just a carpet on the floor
And a loadbox at the frontdoor
Is all of that remains
But there used to be love, used to be love, used to be love,
Used to be love, used to be love,used to be love,
In this big old house
There used to be love, used to be love, used to be love,
Used to be love, used to be love, used to be love,

Robert Cray Great Big Old House Comments
So many sad comments below...that's the blues...God bless all of ya...including the great Robert Cray
...excluding that villa fan below
So much soul in one man's voice. I really enjoy his guitar phrasing as well, very emotional and unique
There’s a good video of him playing this live at Crossroads Guitar Festival 2013. The faces of Robert and the players also tell the story.
So sweetly sad, brings me to tears. Feels to me like he is crying with his guitar.
Firstly thank you Robert, I lived through this when my marriage of 16 years ended sadly in divorce, 6 years ago. Life can be hard but life can also be good. I guess that's what life has taught me. Blessings from above always x
This is just good F-ing music. Pure as it gets.
I've seen Cray 3 times. Dude can still blow vocals like when he first arrived. Best blues singer I've heard
i've seen him twice and haven't heard him sing off key once, he has such a great voice and such a nice range
.
The new Albert King.
This is music and artist!!
I didn't understand this song until my parents got divorced a couple years ago and my brothers moved in with my mom and it was me and my dad in that great big old house by our selves.....First time I heard this song after the divorce I was driving and had to pull over and cry. Thank you Robert, this song helped me move on.
There used to be love, used to be love...Great big old house. Nice video. Thanks for sharing on youtube.
Fantastic
Scream for the song if you have too! Where is the tradition?. Family company didn't know who they had hired because of Temp Services and every one started running in every direction using fear tactics, fighting for power that never existed until we didn't know who's family was in the company..
PLEASE!!
i need the chords!! :)
This tune speaks of Detroit so hard.
+Richard James And other abandoned places
beat rocks, best bluesman out there
This guy will soon be the last of the greatest era of the blues.
I agree!
right there with bobby blue bland, and the like. ;-)
blues full of soul!
i wish robert would let loose at rip sometimes.....shred lol
Mr Jim Pugh on the hammond,
We need another cray in this world
aumkar chandan he's still around lol...
Keep it up, Bob! You are the the greatest musician I've ever listened to.God bless you
classic Robert cray just so smooth
Top, top tune. Sing to me Robert, soften the sadness like you always do.
Brilliant track, Im off to Amazon to get this, a real return to the good old Cray Days.
