Martina Mcbride - Love's The Only House Lyrics
(tom douglas/buzz cason)I was standing in the grocery store lineThe one they marked expressWhen this woman came through with about 25 thingsAnd I said dont you know that more is lessShe said this world is moving so fastBut I just get more behind with every dayAnd every morning when I make my coffeeI cant believe my lifes turned out this wayAll I could say wasLoves the only house big enough for all the pain in the worldLoves the only house big enough for all the painHe was walking by the other day and I saidHey baby how you been?Yeah I got me a little girl now and shes 4 years oldAnd shes got her daddys little grinAnd you only want what you cant haveAnd baby you cant have me nowI gave me heart to anotherYeah Im a mother and hes a fatherAnd weve got each otherAnd I found out the hard way thatLoves the only house big enough for all the pain in the worldLoves the only house big enough for all the painYou drive three miles from all this prosperityDown across the river and you see a ghetto thereAnd we got children walking around with gunsAnd they got knives with drugs and pain to spareAnd here I am in my clean, white shirtWith a little money in my pocket and a nice warm homeAnd we got teenagers walkin around in a culture of darknessLivin together alone, and all I canLoves the only house big enough for all the pain in the worldLoves the only house big enough for all the painAnd I cant explain it and I cant understandBut Ill come down and get my hands dirty and together well make a standSomewhere cross the parking lot some bands playin out of tuneCity streets are gonna burn if we dont do something soonAnd senorita cant quit cryin, babys due now any dayDon juan left, got sick of tryinNo one there to show him the way she came down to the grocery store andShe said i, I wanna buy a little carton of milk but I dont have any moneyI said hey Ill cover you honey cause the pains gotta go somewhereYeah the pains gotta go someplaceSo come on down to my houseDont you know thatLoves the only house big enough for all the pain in the worldLoves the only house big enough for all the pain
