Tear Down the House lyrics
Tear down the house that I grew up in.
Ill never be the same again.
Take everything that Ive 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 dont remember your name.
Park the old car that I love the best.
Inspections due and it wont pass the test.
Its funny how I have to put it to rest,
and how one day I will join it.
I remember crying over you,
and I dont mean like a couple of tears and Im blue.
Im talking about collapsing and screaming at the moon,
but Im a better man for having gone through it.
Yes, Im a better man for having gone through.
Ever since I learned how to curse.
Ive been using those sorry old words.
But Im talking to these children and Im keeping it clean.
I dont need those words to say what I mean.
No, I dont need those words to say what I mean
Tear down the house that I grew up in.
Ill 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 dont remember your name.
