A House Ain’t A Home

VERSE 1
D      A          G           C        D
She laughed as he carried her over the threshold
Of a small apartment, no great sight to behold

It didn’t matter that the paint was cracked
She knew they had all that it lacked

BRIDGE
G            Em            C              D
He said with a little work he’d do all he could
She said she loved him and that she understood

CHORUS
D               A            G                D
A house ain’t a home, they’d soon have better
They could live anywhere, as long as they were together
 	 
The walls of a house never could contain
What was held in the heart of a woman and a man


VERSE 2
Fenced in yard and a two-bedroom trailer
The baby was due just one month later

It didn’t matter the old roof had a leak
They decided to take it and moved in that week

BRIDGE

CHORUS

VERSE 3
They bought some land with plans to build
The perfect house in which they would live

To spend their lives on a farm of their own
Where four kids could have room to roam

BRIDGE

CHORUS

CONCLUSION (same as verses but slower/softer)
Grandkids in the yard, they are never alone
Sittin’ on the front porch of a house made a home
