Where My House Stood

[Verse 1]

Concrete steps, mockingbird feeder

Wrap around porch, rusted hot water heater

Washing machine thumping on that hardwood floor

Oak tree tire swing, rain in the gutter

Screen door slamming, Mama's cooking with butter

Breeze is blowing in through them red french doors

[Pre-Chorus]

And all these things were responsible for raising

And planting my feet on a firm foundation

[Chorus]

Say yes sir, no ma'am, thank you, please

When times get tough you better hit your knees

Don't you go calling that kettle black

And when you get ticked off

Water off a duck's back

Living by the good word

Built on more than wood

That's where my house stood

[Verse 2]

Tiptoeing down in that muddy creek water

Tractor cranks up and I hear Daddy holler

You know them peas ain't gonna pick themselves

Moonshine's in and out comes the guitar

Stomping our feet to the sound of that freight car

Even though the rooster crows early we ain't going to bed

[Pre-Chorus]

And all these things were responsible for raising

And planting my feet on a firm foundation

[Chorus]

Say yes sir, no ma'am, thank you, please

When times get tough you better hit your knees

Don't you go calling that kettle black

And when you get ticked off

Water off a duck's back

Living by the good word

Built on more than wood

That's where my house stood

[Chorus]

Say yes sir, no ma'am, thank you, please

When times get tough you better hit your knees

Don't you go calling that kettle black

And when you get ticked off

Water off a duck's back

Living by the good word

Built on more than wood

That's where my house stood

[Outro]

That's where my house stood
