This House

I remember Georgia red clay
See your footprints from miles away
You don't know where your going
You Know where you've been

We are from an older way of life
And I got one foot in the city
But the city's on fire
Every day it changes, it changes on me

And sometimes I feel like this house
When I can't stop movin around
Sometimes I still love this town
And I'll never settle down

I can see you sittin on the front porch
And I know what you're thinkin
I know it for sure
You're still here where I left you
I never came home

Sometimes I feel like this house
When I can't stop movin around
Sometimes I still love this town
But I'll never settle down

Oh father lay her to rest
Can't you see that we all did our best
She's old and she's tired
And there's nothin left
Oh father lay her to rest

Lay her to rest
Lay her to rest
