| This little house has been good to me
|
| It s a peaceful feeling just to turn the key
|
| It s given warmth and security
|
| And what more do we really need?
|
| I ve seen every scratch and her every creek
|
| Me and dad planted the maple tree
|
| I put some miles on that old porch swing
|
| Rocking to the rainy nights
|
| And I don t know where I ll go from here
|
| Or how the days turned to years
|
| And I can t get sentimental cause I know only people make the home
|
| But this little house has been good to me
|
| I ve smelled birthday cakes and Christmas trees
|
| I ve stacked dishes in that kitchen sink with grandma Thanksgiving Day
|
| I thought I d live here for my kids to see
|
| But life changes got the best of me
|
| One day I ll drive em down this little street and show em my old stomping
|
| grounds
|
| And I don t know where I ll go from here
|
| And how the days turned to years
|
| And I can t get sentimental cause I know only people make the home
|
| But this little house has been good to me
|
| People come and go but it never leaves
|
| It was raining as I packed so you couldn t see the tear drop when I drove away |
