Small Two-bedroom Starter Songtext

The house stood empty on a corner Waiting for a brand new owner A soldier off to war who had to leave his bride alone She couldn't buy too many nice things On a GI bill and daydreams But she tried until they told her He was never coming home Small two bedroom starter Needs a little fixing A great big yard for kids and pets to play This one won't last too long It's close to schools and churches Owner leaving town You better hurry down today Bought by the high school teacher Sold it to a baptist preacher Who couldn't pay his taxes Cause his flock had gone astray So the banker fenced the yard in Planted trees and half a garden The man from Dallas kept it up Till he moved away Small two bedroom starter Needs a little fixing A great big yard for kids and pets to play This one won't last too long It's close to schools and churches Owner leaving town You better hurry down today You and I we built the playroom For the baby that came too soon Spent money that we didn't have Trying to make this place our own Lord it makes me feel like dying After all these years of trying Honey we'll just bought this house That we can't seem to make a home Small two bedroom starter Needs a little fixing A great big yard for kids and pets to play This one won't last too long It's close to schools and churches Owner leaving town You better hurry down today Small two bedroom starter Waiting for a brand new owner
