That Old House
I stood quiet in what used to be our room
Room was cold like it knew I'd be leaving soon
There's a hook still hanging lonely on the wall
Holding fast steady through it all
Wood creaks as I walk across floor
It's a sound I've heard so many times before
I put your ring on the empty shelf by the bedroom door
Diamond promise I won't be keeping anymore
I left my heart in that house on county road
You said I'm leaving I said tell me it ain't so
As I closed that big oak door and cried
I swear I heard that old house sigh
The day we met I'd just turned 17
You were the bad boy star from all my teenage dreams
And when you kissed me hard out by the pine
I kissed you back and knew that you were mine
Folks said we got married much too soon
So young so sure what we were doing
Out back we carved our names in the stone
The day those four walls became our home
I left my heart in that house on county road
You said I'm leaving I said tell me it ain't so
As I closed that big oak door and cried
I swear I heard that old house sigh
15 years and all we got was old
Life became a story that we told
Our home became four walls of love grown cold
My heart still broke the day that it was sold
I saw you down on Third the other day
You saw me back you turned and walked away
Honestly seemed easier that way
Nothing sadder than nothing left to say
I left my heart in that house on county road
You said I'm leaving I said tell me it ain't so
As I closed that big oak door and cried
I swear I heard that old house sigh
Room was cold like it knew I'd be leaving soon
There's a hook still hanging lonely on the wall
Holding fast steady through it all
Wood creaks as I walk across floor
It's a sound I've heard so many times before
I put your ring on the empty shelf by the bedroom door
Diamond promise I won't be keeping anymore
I left my heart in that house on county road
You said I'm leaving I said tell me it ain't so
As I closed that big oak door and cried
I swear I heard that old house sigh
The day we met I'd just turned 17
You were the bad boy star from all my teenage dreams
And when you kissed me hard out by the pine
I kissed you back and knew that you were mine
Folks said we got married much too soon
So young so sure what we were doing
Out back we carved our names in the stone
The day those four walls became our home
I left my heart in that house on county road
You said I'm leaving I said tell me it ain't so
As I closed that big oak door and cried
I swear I heard that old house sigh
15 years and all we got was old
Life became a story that we told
Our home became four walls of love grown cold
My heart still broke the day that it was sold
I saw you down on Third the other day
You saw me back you turned and walked away
Honestly seemed easier that way
Nothing sadder than nothing left to say
I left my heart in that house on county road
You said I'm leaving I said tell me it ain't so
As I closed that big oak door and cried
I swear I heard that old house sigh
