Bigger Houses Songtext
von Dan + Shay

Used to dream about
Buying that bigger house
Sitting on top of some hill
Losing sleep about filling
My bank account
Wondering if I ever will

But the older I get
I just care less and less
′Bout keeping up with people
Named Jones
If you don't fill it up
With somebody that you love
It ain′t ever gonna feel like home


There's always gonna be a higher high
You could chase for the rest of your life
Greener grass in the yard next door
Or a shined up Chevy
Little newer than yours
You're never gonna fill an empty cup
If what you got′s still not enough
The thing about happiness
I′ve found is
It don't live in bigger houses

I can hear the kids making
Little footsteps, running down
The hallway upstairs
I can see the dogs playing
In the back yard, through the kitchen window right there

Maybe life′s kinda more 'bout
A swing on the porch
Holding her while the sun disappears
Why would I wanna be anywhere else
In the world when my whole world
Is sitting right here?


There′s always gonna be a higher high
You could chase
For the rest of your life
Greener grass in the yard next door
Or a shined up Chevy
Little newer than yours
You're never gonna fill an empty cup
If what you got′s still not enough
The thing about happiness
I've found is
It don't live in bigger houses

No-no, no-no, no-no

There′s always gonna be a higher high
You could chase
For the rest of your life
Greener grass in the yard next door
Or a shined up Chevy
Little newer than yours
You′re never gonna fill an empty cup
If what you got's still not enough
The thing about happiness
I′ve found is
It don't live in bigger houses

The thing about happiness
I′ve found is
It don't live in bigger houses
Mm-hmm
