1.Tear Down The House
Tear down the house that I grew up in.
Iâll never be the same again.
Take everything that Iâve collected,
and throw it in a pile.
Bulldoze the woods that I ran through.
Carry the pictures of me and you.
I have no memory of who I once was,
and I donât remember your name.
Park the old car that I love the best.
Inspectionâs due and it wonât pass the test.
Itâs funny how I have to put it to rest,
and how one day I will join it.
I remember crying over you,
and I donât mean like a couple of tears and Iâm blue.
Iâm talking about collapsing and screaming at the moon,
but Iâm a better man for having gone through it.
Yes, Iâm a better man for having gone through.
Ever since I learned how to curse.
Iâve been using those sorry old words.
But Iâm talking to these children and Iâm keeping it clean.
I donât need those words to say what I mean.
No, I donât need those words to say what I mean
Tear down the house that I grew up in.
Iâll never be the same again.
Take everything that I used to own,
and burn it in a pile
Bulldoze the woods that I ran through.
Carry the pictures of me and you.
I have no memory of who I once was,
and I donât remember your name.
