Rob Georg - This Old House

The trucks are loaded up with all our things
Yours will drive to Memphis and mine to New Orleans
And though you wish I would
I know that I can't stay
Sometimes a broken heart just can't be saved

There's an empty house standing behind me
I'm trying not to look so I don't cry
Cause if I do, I know I'll be reminded
Of all the memories we left inside

Scratches on the floor from moving chairs for family suppers
Half a can of gray from when we painted all the shutters
Holes from where we hung the pictures of our wedding day
When we made vows we thought we'd never break
Creaky wooden stairs leading down to Christmas mornings
A dirty fireplace that kept us warm when it was storming
There was a time we thought that we had everything we'd need
Crazy how time goes and changes things
But this old house still holds our memories

If those walls could talk they'd tell a story
'Bout love and all the pain that it can bring
And how I knew damn well that I'd be sorry
If I ever chose to walk away
From

Scratches on the floor from moving chairs for family suppers
Half a can of gray from when we painted all the shutters
Holes from where we hung the pictures of our wedding day
When we made vows we thought we'd never break
Creaky wooden stairs leading down to Christmas mornings
A dirty fireplace that kept us warm when it was storming
There was a time we thought that we had everything we'd need
Crazy how time goes and changes things
But this old house still holds our memories

Scratches on the floor from moving chairs for family suppers
Half a can of gray from when we painted all the shutters
Holes from where we hung the pictures of our wedding day
When we made vows we thought we'd never break
Creaky wooden stairs leading down to Christmas mornings
A dirty fireplace that kept us warm when it was storming
There was a time we thought that we had everything we'd need
Crazy how time goes and changes things
But this old house still holds our memories
This old house still holds our memories
