This Old House Songtext
von Rob Georg

The trucks are loaded up with all our things
Yours will drive to Memphis and mine to New Orleans
And though you wish I would,
I know that I can′t stay
Sometimes a broken heart just can't be saved

There′s an empty house standing behind me
I'm trying not to look so I don't cry
Cause if I do, I know I′ll be reminded
Of all the memories we left inside


Scratches on the floor from
Moving chairs for family suppers
Half a can of gray from
When we painted all the shutters
Holes from where we hung the pictures
Of our wedding day
When we made vows,
We thought we′d never break
Creaky wooden stairs leading
Down to Christmas mornings
A dirty fireplace that kept us warm
When it was storming
There was a time, we thought that
We had everything we'd need
Crazy how time goes and changes things,
But this old house still holds our memories

If those walls could talk,
They′d tell a story
'Bout love and all the pain
That it can bring
And how I knew damn well
That I′d be sorry
If I ever chose to walk away
From


Scratches on the floor from
Moving chairs for family suppers
Half a can of gray from
When we painted all the shutters
Holes from where we hung the pictures
Of our wedding day
When we made vows,
We thought we'd never break
Creaky wooden stairs leading
Down to Christmas mornings
A dirty fireplace that kept us warm
When it was storming
There was a time, we thought that
We had everything we′d need
Crazy how time goes and changes things,
But this old house still holds our memories

Scratches on the floor from
Moving chairs for family suppers
Half a can of gray from
When we painted all the shutters
Holes from where we hung the pictures
Of our wedding day
When we made vows,
We thought we'd never break
Creaky wooden stairs leading
Down to Christmas mornings
A dirty fireplace that kept us warm
When it was storming
There was a time, we thought that
We had everything we'd need
Crazy how time goes and changes things,
But this old house still holds our memories
This old house still holds our memories
