00:06I parked my truck by the gravel lane
00:09Saw the porch swing creaking in the wind again
00:13Mama's roses by the gate still bloom
00:18But the house don't feel like home without her in the room
00:24She was the last voice on that old landline
00:28Now it's just silence and frozen time
00:33Daddy left us back in 95
00:37Now Mama's gone and I'm the last to arrive
00:44This old house holds a thousand songs
00:50Laughter in the kitchen and nights that ran long
00:57We were barefoot kids chasing fireflies and dreams
01:03Sunday mornings, biscuits and gospel on the screen
01:10But the time has come and I know it's right
01:14To turn off the porch in that last bedroom light
01:17Say goodbye to where my roots were grown
01:23It hurts but I've got to sell the old country home
01:33Found a crayon drawing on the hallway wall
01:37Stick figure angels and a football
01:40Heard my sisters laugh in the creek of the floor
01:46Like echoes that live in the walls and the door
01:52We fought, we prayed, we made it through
01:56Christmas Eve snow and backyard barbecues
02:00Now it's just boxes and a four-sell sign
02:05And a part of me that I'm leaving behind
02:11This old house holds a thousand songs
02:17Laughter in the kitchen and nights that ran long
02:24We were barefoot kids chasing fireflies and dreams
02:31Sunday mornings, Sunday mornings, biscuits and gospel on the screen
02:38But the time has come and I know it's right
02:41To turn off the porch in that last bedroom light
02:45Say goodbye to where my roots were grown
02:51It hurts but I've got to sell the old country home
02:57Maybe some young couple will start a new race
03:01Babies when we want to screw
03:04I'll drive by sometimes and smile through the tears
03:11Grateful for all those golden years
03:15Yeah, this old house holds a thousand songs
03:22But even the sweetest notes don't last too long
03:41Yeah, this old house
03:43Yeah, this old house
03:57Holds a thousand songs
04:00But even the sweetest notes don't last too long
04:24But even the sweetest notes don't last too long
04:25I know it's all you need
04:25I know it's all you need
04:26And if you want to know
04:26I know it's all you need
04:26To be as good as a natural
04:28You're happy to be
04:28So you're happy to do
04:28And if you're happy to watching
