Lyric Home For Sale

(Dwight Yoakam)

Home for sale
That s much too large
Too many rooms
Big ole empty yard
Far more space
Than the owner needs
Price includes
All the memories

Home for sale
Restored like new
Just a place
Two lives outgrew
A change in heart
Forces move away
Would like to keep
But just can t stay

Listen close and you might hear the sound
Of what you think is rainfall leaking down
The roof is fine
Set aside your fears
It s just a few remaining tears

Home for sale
Not all that old
A family s s dream
Stands dark and cold
Scenic views
That go for free
Of all the love
That used to be

Home for sale
That s much too large
