The House Down the Block

The House Down the Block - Buck Owens/Buddy Alan

The house my family lives

In just down the block

Many times I passed there

But I never stopped

I go on all alone a wishin' I could be

In that house down the block with my family

When we meet upon the street

I just bow my head

They don't know how often

I wish that I was dead

To our name I brought the shame

But still I long to be

In that house down the block with my family

When Gabriel blows his trumpet

And time will be no more

When mem'ries fade

My daddy's faith I'll walk up to the door

The tears that fall

Won't start at all and God will let me be

In that house down

The block with my family
