Where My House Stood (feat. Frank Foster)

Concrete steps, mockingbird feeder
 Wrap around porch, rusted hot water heater
 Washing machine thumping on that hardwood floor
 Oak tree tire swing, rain in the gutter
 Screen door slamming, mama's cooking with butter
 Breeze is blowing in through them red french doors
 And all these things were responsible for raising
 And planting my feet on a firm foundation
 Say yes sir, no ma'am, thank you, please
 When times get tough, you better hit your knees
 Don't you go calling that kettle black
 And when you get ticked off
 Water off a duck's back
 Living by the good word
 Built on more than wood
 That's where my house stood
 ♪
 Tiptoeing down in that muddy creek water
 Tractor cranks up and I hear daddy holler
 You know them peas ain't gonna pick themselves
 Moon shines in and out, comes the guitar
 Stomping our feet to the sound of that freight car
 Even though the rooster crows early, we ain't going to bed, oh
 And all these things were responsible for raising
 And planting my feet on a firm foundation
 Say yes sir, no ma'am, thank you, please
 When times get tough, you better hit your knees
 Don't you go calling that kettle black
 And when you get ticked off
 Water off a duck's back
 Living by the good word
 Built on more than wood
 That's where my house stood
