"Just A House" lyrics

Yeah I know where your earring fell
The one you lost when you were 12
It's in the vent behind the couch in my living room

Those blue marks on my kitchen wall
Reminded me of just how tall
You had gotten now they're gone and so are you

Now there's another barefoot blonde haired girl
Slammin' my ole front door
On her way to fly that tire swing
On my silver maple tree

They painted me a different color
Added on another room
I know I'm just a house
But I'll always be home to you

Rain fell against my window pane
The day I heard your daddy say
They were puttin' up a for sale sign in my front yard

I watched that movin' truck drive away
Wishin' I could talk so I could say
Livin' here without you is gonna be real hard

Now there's another barefoot blonde haired girl
Slammin' my ole front door
On her way to fly that tire swing
On my silver maple tree

They painted me a different color
Added on another room
I know I'm just a house
But I'll always be home to you

I'd love to be yours again
And if I could
I'd wrap myself around you
With these arms of brick and wood

They painted me a different color
Added on another room
I know I'm just a house
But I'll always be home to you
Yeah I'll always be home to you
