Lyrics David Allan Coe

David Allan Coe

House We've Been Calling Home

Jessie she stares like a cat with a bird

That has fallen and broke its wing

Terri she puts on her make-up

And wonders what promise the new day will bring

Debbie stays home with the baby

While I work my hands to the bone

Yeah I make a living they do the giving

In a house we've been calling home

Just a house we've been trying to live in

Just a place we've been calling our own

Me and my wives have been spending our lives

In a house we've been calling home

Jessie's the youngest she always needs

Answers to questions that I just don't know

Terri she can't sit still for a moment

She's always in some hurry to go

Debbie's been with me the longest

We spend most of our time on the phone

Talking in rhymes with no reasons in mind

For this house we've been calling home

Just a house we've been trying to live in

Just a place we've been calling our own

Me and my wives have been spending our lives

In a house we've been calling home
