The bar was filled with smoke and lies,
|
I couldn't see a thing, it burned my eyes
|
I pushed a strange woman off my lap,
|
she had a snake tattooed on her thigh.
|
|
The doors opened into the night,
|
the silence kissed my worried life
|
I heard a song comin' from the back,
|
it played over and over again
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
I stood just around the bend, over the hill,
|
across the river bed, one step closer to hell
|
If I forget about my past, forget about my guilt,
|
I go back to the house that love built, that love built
|
|
I went back to the bar again,
|
and headed straight for the band
|
I need to remember not to forget,
|
all the life and the love we had
|
|
So play that song and make it right,
|
get me out of this lonely night
|
Slapped all my money into his hand,
|
said play it over and over again
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Let me come inside, baby,
|
let me come inside into the house that love built,
|
that love built, the house that love built,
|
the house that love built
|
