Corey Smith - Single-Wide Home Lyrics
Daddy worked out in the lumber yard,By the cemetery road.Carrying the load the best he could.We'd see him from the highwayWhen mom would drive us to town.He looked so small between those rolls of woodHe'd come home around supper timeKick the sawdust off his bootsTake my baby brother in his armsI was only five years oldBut I remember it so wellI learned what love was there in our single wide homeIt was a single wide homeOn a dead end gravel roadThe back side of my granddaddys landWe had a fifteen acre playgroundAnd it was paradise to meLord I wish I could go home again.We got cable television, back in 85.50 channels were the world to me.Then the cartoons and the evening newsTaught me how to be afraidOf guns and drugs and povertyI cried momma oh momma I don't ever wanna leaveShe said son one day you'll be on your ownBut jesus died so you might live and you don't have to be afriadYea I found God there in our single homeIt was a single wide homeAnd I had a bible in my handAnd jesus saved me from my sinsAs I've gotten olderI've drifted awayLord I wish I could go home again.I wish I could go home againNow that trailers in the scrap yardOut by the interstate where all the strangers come inWhen grandad died they sold the propertyTore down the timberAnd started builingIt was a single wide homeJust off jackson trailBack before the developers moved inIt's all covered up nowBy track houses and rowsLord I wish I could go home againI wish I could go home againTo a single wide homeOhhh
