550 Sq Ft
The hardest thing we did
Was walk away from it
With salt-streaked cheeks
And a long silent drive
It was only seven years
And only a few lost tears
Five hundred fifty square feet of love
Now we're two thousand miles away
From those cold summer days
And those two flights of stairs we used to know
We just had to go
Get away
No turning back
No reason to stay
We laid our tracks
Wiped our slate
Dried our eyes
Made a few mistakes
For another chance at life
In Tennessee we bought a home
Something to call our own
Completely naive
The walls were falling apart
When we asked for a new start
Never thought it'd be this hard
We missed our five hundred fifty square feet of love
Now we're two thousand miles away
From cold summer days
And the two flights of stairs we used to know
We just had to go
Get away
No turning back
No reason to stay
We laid our tracks
Wiped our slate
Dried our eyes
Made a few mistakes
For another chance at life
For another chance at life
Now our boy's growing up so sweet
A little bit of you and me
His world's so big
Take a look through his eyes
Banging on his little drum
Remember how far we've come
From that five hundred fifty square feet of love
Now we're two thousand miles away
From cold summer days
And the two flights of stairs we used to know
We just had to go
Get away
No turning back
No reason to stay
We laid our tracks
Wiped our slate
Dried our eyes
Made a few mistakes
For another chance at life
For another chance at life
Just one more chance at life
Was walk away from it
With salt-streaked cheeks
And a long silent drive
It was only seven years
And only a few lost tears
Five hundred fifty square feet of love
Now we're two thousand miles away
From those cold summer days
And those two flights of stairs we used to know
We just had to go
Get away
No turning back
No reason to stay
We laid our tracks
Wiped our slate
Dried our eyes
Made a few mistakes
For another chance at life
In Tennessee we bought a home
Something to call our own
Completely naive
The walls were falling apart
When we asked for a new start
Never thought it'd be this hard
We missed our five hundred fifty square feet of love
Now we're two thousand miles away
From cold summer days
And the two flights of stairs we used to know
We just had to go
Get away
No turning back
No reason to stay
We laid our tracks
Wiped our slate
Dried our eyes
Made a few mistakes
For another chance at life
For another chance at life
Now our boy's growing up so sweet
A little bit of you and me
His world's so big
Take a look through his eyes
Banging on his little drum
Remember how far we've come
From that five hundred fifty square feet of love
Now we're two thousand miles away
From cold summer days
And the two flights of stairs we used to know
We just had to go
Get away
No turning back
No reason to stay
We laid our tracks
Wiped our slate
Dried our eyes
Made a few mistakes
For another chance at life
For another chance at life
Just one more chance at life
