|
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 back |
|
|
|
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 |
