Sell the House

Lyrics

Put the TV on the lawn
 With the bicycles and boots
 Take your wedding dress to pawn
 Take my pistol and my suit
 Sell the house, sell the car
 Take the kids to Jacksonville
 Give them a kiss for the father they'll miss
 Tell them that I love them still
 I remember, long ago
 In that brown Catskill school snow
 Oh, the life we dreamt of way back then
 ♪
 Hey there, Dorothy, stop your crying
 I'll put your favorite record on
 Hey there, Dorothy, where's your smile?
 Just one more kiss before I'm gone
 Sell the house, sell the car
 Take the kids to Jacksonville
 Give them a kiss, for the father they'll miss
 Tell them that I love them still
 And always will
 And always will
 ♪
 To chain me to the earth
 It would take a length of chain
 25 thousand miles long
 To wash me away
 It would take a length of rain
 25 million mornings long
 To chain me to the earth
 It would take a length of chain
 25 thousand miles long
 I have always been
 And I will see no end
 25 million mornings long
 And that's a long length of chain
 And that's a long time to wait
 ♪
 To move me with hate
 It would take an army greater than
 25 million soldiers strong
 To move me with love
 It would take the birds above
 Oh, the singing of a song
 And that's a long length of chain
 And that's a long time to wait
 ♪
 To chain me to the earth
 It would take a length of chain
 25 thousand miles long
 I will always be
 Like the ever-changing sea
 25 million years to come
 And that's a long length of chain
 And that's a long time to wait
 And that's a long length of chain
