《Small Two-Bedroom Starter(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:05] The house stood empty on a corner

[00:00:08] Waiting for a brand new owner

[00:00:12] A soldier off to war who had to leave his bride alone

[00:00:19] She couldn't buy too many nice things

[00:00:23] On a GI bill and daydreams

[00:00:26] But she tried until they told her

[00:00:29] He was never coming home

[00:00:34] Small two bedroom starter

[00:00:37] Needs a little fixing

[00:00:40] A great big yard for kids and pets to play

[00:00:46] This one won't last too long

[00:00:49] It's close to schools and churches

[00:00:52] Owner leaving town

[00:00:55] You better hurry down today

[00:01:03] Bought by the high school teacher

[00:01:06] Sold it to a baptist preacher

[00:01:09] Who couldn't pay his taxes

[00:01:12] Cause his flock had gone astray

[00:01:17] So the banker fenced the yard in

[00:01:20] Planted trees and half a garden

[00:01:23] The man from Dallas kept it up

[00:01:26] Till he moved away

[00:01:31] Repeat Chorus

[00:01:34] You and I we built the playroom

[00:01:44] For the baby that came too soon

[00:01:50] Spent money that we didn't have

[00:02:03] Trying to make this place our own

[00:02:13] Lord it makes me feel like dying

[00:02:17] After all these years of trying

[00:02:20] Honey we'll just bought this house

[00:02:28] That we can't seem to make a home

[00:02:34] Repeat Chorus

[00:02:40] Small two bedroom starter

[00:02:47] Waiting for a brand new owner
