"1200 sq ft" lyrics

I couldn't even reach the sink
To brush my teeth
The heater was broke in the winter
We wore long sleeves
We'd race from the front to the back door in under 3 seconds
We didn't have much back then, but I thought it was heaven

There were pictures of us on the wall
And my momma complained that the kitchen was small
You could hear the TV down the hall
Didn't have to go far if I needed to talk
I'm a million miles away tonight
But I can walk through that house
If I just close my eyes
It was only 1200 square feet
It wasn't much
But it was enough for me

Mom and dad got separate places; it didn't work out
Lawyers and real estate agents, and tears on the couch
My new room was bigger and nicer; it smelled like new paint
But I'd lay awake in the darkness and remember those days

There were pictures of us on the wall
And my momma complained that the kitchen was small
You could hear the TV down the hall
Didn't have to go far if I needed to talk
I'm a million miles away tonight
But I can walk through that house
If I just close my eyes
It was only 1200 square feet
It wasn't much
But it was enough for me

I want to go back
Want to go back
Want to go back
I want to go back
Want to go back
Want to go back

There were pictures of us on the wall
And my momma complained that the kitchen was small
You could hear the TV down the hall
Didn't have to go far if I needed to talk
I'm a million miles away tonight
But I can walk through that house
If I just close my eyes
It was only 1200 square feet
It wasn't much
But it was enough for me
