willie nelson - this old house lyrics
this old house once knew his children
this old house once knew his wife
this old house was home and comfort
as they fought the storms of life
this old house once rang with laughter
this old house heard many shouts
now he trembles in the darkness
when the lightning walks about
ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer
ain’t a-gonna need this house no more
ain’t got time to fix the shingles
ain’t got time to fix the floor
ain’t got time to oil the hinges
nor to mend the windowpane
ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer
he’s a-getting ready to meet the saints
this old house is a-getting shaky
this old house is a-getting old
this old house lets in the rain
this old house lets in the cold
on his knees i’m getting chilly
but he feel no fear nor pain
’cause he see an angel peeking
through a broken windowpane
ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer
ain’t a-gonna need this house no more
ain’t got time to fix the shingles
ain’t got time to fix the floor
ain’t got time to oil the hinges
nor to mend the windowpane
ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer
he’s a-getting ready to meet the saints
this old house is afraid of thunder
this old house is afraid of storms
this old house just groans and trembles
when the night wind flings its arms
this old house is getting feeble
this old house is needing paint
just like him it’s tuckered out
but he’s a-getting ready to meet the saints
ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer
ain’t a-gonna need this house no more
ain’t got time to fix the shingles
ain’t got time to fix the floor
ain’t got time to oil the hinges
nor to mend the windowpane
ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer
he’s a-getting ready to meet the saints
this old house dog lies a-sleeping
he don’t know i’m gonna leave
else he’d wake up by the fireplace
and he’d sit there and howl and grieve
but my hunting days are over
ain’t gonna hunt the c–n no more
gabriel done brought in my chariot
when the wind blew down the door
ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer
ain’t a-gonna need this house no more
ain’t got time to fix the shingles
ain’t got time to fix the floor
ain’t got time to oil the hinges
nor to mend the windowpane
ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer
he’s a-getting ready to meet the saints
