"House Ain't A Home" lyrics

Sam Burchfield & The Scoundrels Lyrics

"House Ain't A Home"

From town to town
Out on the road
A man starts to go insane
With too much space to roam
Think ya might wanna settle down
Find you some grass to mow
But brother don't forget what makes a home

Ya don't need a floor
Ya don't need a chimney
Ya don't need a roof
To rest your head at night
Ya don't need a table
To be grateful
You just got to be willing
To see the light

Go on find you a pretty girl
Shack up and start procreating
Nothing better for a ramblin' fever
Than a backyard and a baby
And if them 2x4s burn down
Like a bonfire blazing
Son you just remember
What's worth saving

Ya don't need a floor
Ya don't need a chimney
Ya don't need a roof
To rest your head at night
Ya don't need a table
To be grateful
You just got to be willing
To see the light
To see the light

A house ain't a home
Burn down every plank
Take the ashes to the bank
And move on
A house ain't a home
Burn down every plank
Take the ashes to the bank
And move on

Ya don't need a floor
Ya don't need a chimney
Ya don't need a roof
To rest your head at night
Ya don't need a table
To be grateful
You just got to be willing
To see the light
