"Great Big Old House" Written by Robert Cray
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
And the loadbox on the frontdoor
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
Ain't it a shame
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,

[@gavincoe254]

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.

[@mariavergien8792]

This reminds me if my life also. My Mom and Dad, Grandfather and 8 of us children. And any child that needed us. Our dining room table was picnic table. I never seen my Mother sit and eat with us. She was always cooking. My Grandfather died in 77. My dad 02 all of gone. My Mom in 09. And then the house was quiet. My youngest brother bought the house and kept it big. It will never be the same. But am thankful I can always go back there.

Beautiful.

[@billyholster1524]

Super!

[@moanaroangaira]

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

[@jamesharvey9985]

Thank you

[@borntobewilder9]

I've seen Cray 3 times. Dude can still blow vocals like when he first arrived. Best blues singer I've heard

[@1donjul]

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

[@SmokingGuitarSolo]

Keep it up, Bob! You are the the greatest musician I've ever listened to.God bless you

[@BWild82]

So sweetly sad, brings me to tears. Feels to me like he is crying with his guitar.

[@handsolo1546]

So much soul in one man's voice. I really enjoy his guitar phrasing as well, very emotional and unique

[@joelbeltran6645]

quel talent ce grand monsieur embellit nos simples vies

[@claudees]

There used to be love, used to be love...Great big old house. Nice video. Thanks for sharing on youtube.

[@alexpook7575]

Top, top tune. Sing to me Robert, soften the sadness like you always do.

[@ltnthony8791]

This tune speaks of Detroit so hard.

[@emesvideo]

This is music and artist!!

[@papajoecooking4425]

I’m 64 my parents have long since passed away. I remember settling the estate when Momma passed away. We divided all our parents worldly things. Why did the Tupperware Popsicle Molds make me tear up? Why did she save that paper with my hand traced on it when I was 5? So many memories big and small! Nothing left but memories brick wood and stone!

[@BWild82]

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.

[@colinkeating1964]

Brilliant track, Im off to Amazon to get this, a real return to the good old Cray Days.

[@FelipeSilva-dk2oz]

Fantastic

[@maxt8859]

[@ilyasmoulayramdanemoulat1624]

The album is from which year ?

[@pepperbelly68]

Mr Jim Pugh on the hammond,

[@darronlisham3686]

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..

[@Hulkmania21387]

PLEASE!! i need the chords!! :)

[@1022rebelreddog]

i wish robert would let loose at rip sometimes.....shred lol
