Real Good House

Born in nineteen twenty five
Carved into a mountainside
It's seen sixteen presidents

Still it stands so welcoming
Your shoulders drop when you walk in
You can take your deepest breath

You been a good house a real good house
A lovely place to lay my head
And to wake up in the morning

You kept me warm you kept you safe
You overlooked all my mistakes
You're a good house a real good house

You held me when my heart was broke
You mopped my brow when I was drunk
Don't matter how it ended now

You gave my friends a place to stay
When they had nowhere else to go
We ate and laughed and prayed and wept

In this old house this good old house
This loving mass of brick and stone
I hope that I have loved you well

The sunset view at the golden hour
The solid floors that broke my falls
The hummingbird by the fountain she says

Change is good keep going now keep on going no don't stop now
Leaving doesn't mean you don't love something life keeps moving don't get too comfy
Change is good keep going now keep on going no don't stop now
Leaving doesn't mean you don't love something life keeps moving don't get too comfy
Change is good keep going now keep on going no don't stop now
Leaving doesn't mean you don't love something life keeps moving don't get too comfy

It's the last I'll ever use these keys
Last night sleeping beneath these trees
Happy thank you more please

It was here that I learned how to pray
It was here that I learned I'm okay
Maybe one day I'll drive by and say

That's a good house a real good house
Whoever lives there is lucky
It's a good house a real good house
