Текст Kalie Shorr – Big Houses

When I was young my Mom and I would drive out on the west side of town
Where the streets are nicer, sun shines brighter, I still don’t know how
And we’d go real slow, roll down the windows
The family on the corner always sat on their front porch swing

And we’d go…

Driving
After church on Sunday, taking the long way
Trying
To get the hell out of our part of town
Where the grass ain’t green
And the rent’s dirt cheap
All we had was her and me
But for an hour we could dream about it
Living in big houses
Living in big houses

I bet around December they go find a Christmas tree
It’s the biggest one on the whole lot and I bet on Christmas Eve
Their mom says a different kind of prayer, cause everyone they love is there

Oh but mine would take me…

Driving
After church on Sunday, taking the long way
Trying
To get the hell out of our part of town
Where the grass ain’t green
And the rent’s dirt cheap
All we had was her and me
But for an hour we could dream about it
Living in big houses

When every kid in class was making cards for Father’s Day in June
I made one for her cause my Wonder Woman was my Superman too
She’d make me feel like we were flying
When we’d go…

Driving
After church on Sunday, taking the long way
Trying
To get the hell out of our part of town
Where the grass ain’t green
And the rent’s dirt cheap
And all we had was her and me
But for an hour we could dream about it
Living in big houses
Living in big houses
Living in big houses
