This Little House

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
