guest in your house lyrics
[verse 1]
hung up on wood+paneled walls
were pictures of the family taken at the mall
and a crucifix and some wedding photos
outside the window, a view of the poconos

[chorus]
when was a guest in your house
oh, when i was a guest in your house

[verse 2]
oh, we never took sides, we loved them the same
after mom and dad went their separate ways
now we’re living here, but it’s only temporary
in this small guest bedroom that we’rе all sharing

[chorus]
when i was a guest in your house
oh, whеn i was a guest in your house

[verse 3]
where the price is right was on the tv
grandma’s in the kitchen cleaning
my grandfather straightens his tie
mama’s working late tonight
bobby’s in the bedroom sleeping
i’m in the living room kneeling
in front of the tv with bob barker on the screen
[chorus]
oh, when i was a guest in your house
oh, when i was a guest in your house

[verse 4]
me and great uncle billy in his old age
were watching black and white movies with john wayne
between his fingers, always a cigarette
we passed the time with paint by number sets

[chorus]
when i was a guest in your house
oh, when i was a guest in your house

[verse 5]
but then one day he passed away, i was told
the funeral, i wasn’t old enough to go
but every time i drive down our old road
i swear to god, i’m i ten years old
he’s puffing on a pack of marlboros
dialing in that old time radio
sayin’, “boys, they don’t sing it like they used to!”
then i try to impersonate elvis

[chorus]
oh, woah+oh, when i was a guest in your house
oh, when i was a guest in your house
[verse 6]
where the nighttime news was on the tv
we’re waiting on the lottery
my grandfather clenches his ticket
says, “maybe tonight we’ll win it”
grandma’s sippin’ scotch and soda
sayin’, “boys, don’t get your hopes up”
but we’ll never quit dreaming big
no matter how d+mn foolish

[chorus]
oh, woah+oh, when i was a guest in your house
oh, when was a guest in your house
just hoping things would work out
oh, when i was a guest in your, i was a guest in your house
