A House Ain’t A Home

Stefanie Padgett

©2002

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
