darrell scott - my father's house lyrics

Loading...

my father’s house

i was born and raised in my father’s house
can catching rain in the kitchen
he said a good song never comes to those who chase
it comes to those who listen
and i’d listen to him
waking up in the middle of the night
i know he thought we were sleeping
and with an old melody and a guitar in hand
somewhere between dreaming and weeping
he’d sing a walk on the wildside lasts a lifetime for me

i grew up quick in my father’s house
mama she gave him no daughters
just a look in the eye of a woman in need
to be free of a love grown harder
so she hit the road in a galaxy ford
the one that my daddy had bought her
and she crossed the tracks and never looked back
she was hummin’ a song he had tought her
she sang a walk on the wildside lasts a lifetime with me

there was this big black trunk in my father’s house
where he kept all the ledgers he’d write in
and i broke into it before i moved out
to see if i could find out more about him
there were letters written, never sent to my mom
it’s a wonder it never killed him
and there were lines, and songs, and poetry
d-mn near as good as hank williams
sing a walk on the wildside lasts a lifetime with me
