This Old House

This old house of mommas got some paint peeling off the shutters

Part of me still lives here like the baseball in the gutter

This old house is where I learned the chords to neon moon

Got sick as a dog in the backyard when I stole my old mans chew

That kitchen tables got a few more stories it could tell

Stop by Sunday after service and you can hear some for yourself

Ain't no mansion on a hill

Ain't no Tennessee postcard picture

But that peach pie on the sill

It's the first thing that's gonna hit ya

It watched me grow up watched me fall down

Watched me leave to chase a dream and come back around

Yea I'll never grow out

Of this old house

This old house ain't broke but man it sure is broken in

I snuck out that back window to go meet Katie for a kiss

I put that hole in my bedroom wall the night she broke my heart

Yea this old house ain't a piece of me it's damn near every part

Ain't no mansion on a hill

Ain't no Tennessee postcard picture

But that peach pie on the sill

It's the first thing that's gonna hit ya

It watched me grow up watched me fall down

Watched me leave to chase a dream and come back around

Yea I'll never grow out

Of this old house

Built in 1986

It's got my handprints in the concrete, way more memories than bricks

Ain't no mansion on a hill

Ain't no Tennessee postcard picture

But that peach pie on the sill

It's the first thing that's gonna hit ya

It watched me grow up watched me fall down

Watched me leave to chase a dream and come back around

Yea I'll never grow out

Of this old house
