A House Is A Home

A House Is A Home - Ellen Harper/Ben Harper

A house is a home even when it's dark

Even when the grass is overgrown in the yard

Even when the dog is too old to bark

And when you're sitting at the table

Trying not to starve

A house is a home even

When we're up and gone

Even when you're there alone

A house a house is a home

A house is a home even when there's ghosts

Even when you gotta run

From the ones who love you most

Screen door's broken

Paint's peeling from the wood

Locals whisper when they gonna

Leave the neighborhood

A house is a home even

When we're up and gone

Even when you're there alone

A house a house is a home

A house is a home

Where the chores are never done

Where you spend your whole life

Running to and from

And if the life that you live

Is not the life you choose

Make your child a home

And start a new

A house is a home even

When we're up and gone

Even when you're there alone

A house a house a house is a home
