Love's the Only House

歌詞

(Tom Douglas/Buzz Cason) I was standing in the grocery store line The one they marked express When this woman came through with about 25 things And I said don't you know that more is less She said this world is moving so fast But I just get more behind with every day And every morning when I make my coffee I can't believe my life's turned out this way All I could say was Love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world Love's the only house big enough for all the pain He was walking by the other day and I said Hey baby how you been? Yeah I got me a little girl now and she's 4 years old And she's got her daddy's little grin And you only want what you can't have And baby you can't have me now I gave me heart to another Yeah I'm a mother and he's a father and we're a family And we've got each other And I found out the hard way that Love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world Love's the only house big enough for all the pain You drive three miles from all this prosperity Down across the river and you see a ghetto there And we got children walking around with guns And they got knives with drugs and pain to spare And here I am in my clean, white shirt With a little money in my pocket and a nice warm home And we got teenagers walkin' around in a culture of darkness Livin' together alone, and all I can Love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world Love's the only house big enough for all the pain And I can't explain it and I can't understand But I'll come down and get my hands dirty and together we'll make a stand Somewhere cross the parking lot some bands playin out of tune City streets are gonna burn if we don't do something soon And senorita can't quit cryin, baby's due now any day Don Juan left, got sick of tryin No one there to show him the way she came down to the grocery store and She said I, I wanna buy a little carton of milk but I don't have any money I said hey I'll cover you honey cause the pain's gotta go somewhere Yeah the pain's gotta go someplace So come on down to my house Don't you know that Love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world Love's the only house big enough for all the pain
