House Built For Two

The years have been turning on

You left me at home

To carve my own stone

I cried picking up pride

Oh, granite won't lie

We all got along

Well, it's true

Build this for you

A house fit for two

Is too small for you

Our son is losing his mind

His drugs that he hides

You can see in his veins

The steps he's needing to take

His back it might break

We both need you here

It's true

I build this for you

A house fit for two

Is too small for you

It's a shame

Leave you to blame

Changing your name

And left him insane

Return like a prodigal sheep

It's cold in the keep

But I have you here

I work hard then watch some TV

You staring at me

What are you doing there?

Get up, lay down your crown

What are you doing now?

Say I'm tired as hell

Yeah, I'm broke

Ain't got as much as you

To tell you the truth

Still am your man

It's true

I build this for you

A house fit for two

Is too small for you

It's a shame

Leave you to blame

Changing your name

And left me insane

The words on the tip of your tongue

Like a song I once sung

And you threw it away

That tune, old melody

Had hope in its ring

Those years never came
