No Vacancy

About No Vacancy

"No Vacancy" is a song written by Merle Travis and Cliffie Stone in 1946. The best-known version of the song is Travis' own, which reached #3 on the country charts in that year. The song's lyrics tell, in first person, of a World War II veteran who returns and finds nowhere to live: "All along the line it's the same old sign waitin' for me./No Vacancy, No Vacancy" Reportedly, "No Vacancy" got Travis his first major solo recording contract. Cliffie Stone brought the idea for the song to Travis and then brought the demo to Capitol Records after Travis wrote and recorded the song. Lee Gillette at Capitol liked the song, signed Travis, and "No Vacancy" became his first hit. The song has also been recorded by Glen Campbell (on his first album, Big Bluegrass Special (1962)) and Ricky Nelson (1966, on Bright Lights & Country Music). more »

Tonight, I find out
Just what you're all about
-I'm the one that's come looking for you
I got the bottle, baby It's all you-
Showed up to the room about 3 or 4
Ladies running, running right out the door

We came here to party like
Its going out (oh shit)

We'll do this the whole night
This could be what we needed
-We can do what we want to-
A single melody to give this meaning
-This memory is making moves-

We came here to party like
Its going out of style

I'm ready to go
I got the bacardi
We got the bottle topped
Who's ready for more?
Let's start this party
We got everything you're looking for

We came here to party like
Its going out (oh shit)

We'll do this the whole night
This could be what we needed
-We can do what we want to-
A single melody to give this meaning
-This memory is making moves-[x2]

(I'll be there not far behind)
