I just turned out the light upstairs the kids are fast asleep
|
I listened while they said their prayers for the Lord their souls to keep
|
And I didn't hear them say your name for the first time since you've gone
|
Your name's become a houselhold word in every house but home
|
For gossip doesn't care to hear that you found somebody new
|
That little pictures have big ears they heard the stories too
|
But if you should come back home tonight we'd forget the shame we've known
|
Then your name would be a houselhold word and this house would be a home
|
Yes your name would be a houselhold word and this house would be a home
|

Your Name's Become A Household Word
