House Down the Block

The House Down The Block - 1962 - Buck Owens

Written by：Buck Owens

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
