Small Two-Bedroom Starter

The house stood empty on a corner

Waiting for a brand new owner

A soldier off to war who had to

Leave his bride alone

She couldn't buy too many nice things

But she tried until they told her

On a G. I. bill and daydreams

He was never coming home

Small two bedroom starter

Needs a little fixing

A great big yard for kids and pets to play

This one won't last too long

It's close to schools and churches

Owner leaving town

You better hurry down today

Bought by the high school teacher

Sold it to a Baptist Preacher

Who couldn't pay his taxes

'Cause his flock had gone astray

So the banker fenced the yard in

Planted trees and half a garden

The man from Dallas kept it up

'Til he moved away

You and I we built the playroom

For the baby that came too soon

Spent money that we didn't have

Trying to make this place our own

Lord it makes me feel like dying

After all these years of trying

Honey, we'll just knock this house

That we can't seem to make a home
