This little house has been good to me It's a peaceful feeling just to turn the key It's given warmth and security And what more do we really need? I've seen every scratch and her every creek Me and dad planted the maple tree I put some miles on that old porch swing Rocking to the rainy nights And I don't know where I'll go from here Or how the days turned to years And I can't get sentimental cause I know only people make the home But this little house has been good to me I've smelled birthday cakes and Christmas trees I've stacked dishes in that kitchen sink with grandma Thanksgiving Day I thought I'd live here for my kids to see But life changes got the best of me One day I'll drive 'em down this little street and show 'em my old stomping grounds And I don't know where I'll go from here And how the days turned to years And I can't get sentimental cause I know only people make the home But this little house has been good to me People come and go but it never leaves It was raining as I packed so you couldn't see the tear drop when I drove away
