Question
hello dear,

I have another song that I've been trying to find for like a year.... Its from awhile back for sure, probably in the 90s. I don't remember much but the premise:  a couple is going to bed and he(the artist is male) is thinking about how they've drifted apart and don't love eachother anymore, but they've been pretending for so long, and whether they should talk about it, or "Just turn out the lights"?

Answer
Hi again Kyla!  The only song I could come up with was Alan Jackson's "A House With No Curtains," which he released in 1996.  Here are the lyrics, so you can see what you think!  Hope this helps!
--Beth

Artist: Jackson, Alan
Song: A House With No Curtains
Album: Everything I Love

We still wear our rings
We still say I love you
We both play the part
Oh so well
But everyone knows
It's just a sad show
And we're only foolin ourselves

It's like living in a house with no curtains
The whole world can see what's inside
You can turn out the lights in a house with no curtains
But the heartache has nowhere to hide

We could pack up and leave in different directions
If we just had somewhere to go
We just keep on pretending
Afraid of the ending
Admitting what everyone knows

It's like living in a house with no curtains
The whole world can see what's inside
You can turn out the lights in a house with no curtains
But the heartache has nowhere to hide

You can turn out the lights
In a house with no curtains
But the heartache has nowhere to hide

I can answer just about any question about lyrics or the artists who recorded the songs--80s and 90s country especially. I don't watch many new videos, but the older the video question, the more likely I am to be able to answer it.

Experience

I've been a country music fan for all of my 20+ years! I somehow have a knack for being able to remember all the words to all the songs (and who sang them for the most part) even though I can't carry a tune to save my life!

Education/Credentials
Juris Doctor. (So if I can't remember an answer off the top of my head, I have the research skills to figure it out!)
