Lyrics

It’s just a house, it’s just a yard
Well I pass the gate and pull in the yard
By the crooked tree where we all would play
Oh how ten long years just melt away

The old screen door and the wooden floor
There’s the old cook stove that mom adored
The furnace grate where we all got warm
Now I’m standing here but everyone’s gone

Chorus
But down these halls you’d hear laughter
Though at times we cried
How these rooms hold forever
The memories of my lives

The creaky floor, the staircase slide
And our old dog Jed that place he’d lie
The pencil lines where Mom marked the years
All the things I’ve loved they’re all still here

Instrumental

But down these halls you’d hear laughter
Though at times we cried
How these rooms hold forever
The memories of my life
It’s just a house, it’s just a yard
Well I close the door and get in my car
And say goodbye to a dear old friend
Well it sure was nice to see you again
It’s just a house, an old, old friend
How it's touched my heart to see you again
