Brought out all the kids, waited for their voices to quiet
Girls go with your mother, a better house
New dad and bigger town
We'll stay just the same
We'll just stay the same
Boys this house is haunted
I hear them in the aching of the grain
Grab the saw and hammer, build a brand-new start
A brand-new house just ten feet down
We'll stay just the same, we'll just stay the same
It's like she's barely even there
Peeking out the window, waiting for their voices to quiet
Grandpa slammed the car door
Driving through the woods and out of sight
She has come too soon, that Sunday afternoon
Gray is in their hair now, still the anger shows in waxen brows
We'll stay just the same, we'll just stay the same
It's like he's barely even there
Before his open coffin
Grandma stands beside the fifty years she left behind
Sadness holds me tighter
Seeing them together just one time
It's like I'm barely even there
Brought out all the kids
Waited for their voices to quiet
Girls go with your mother, a better house
New dad and bigger town
We'll stay just the same, we'll just stay the same
Peeking out the window, waiting for their voices to quiet
Grandpa slammed the car door
Driving through the woods and out of sight
She has come too soon, that Sunday afternoon
It's like he's barely even there
Before his open coffin
Grandma stands beside the fifty years she left behind
Sadness holds me tighter
Seeing them together just one time
It's like I'm barely even there
