Love`s The Only House — текст песни (Martina Mcbride)

I was standing in the grocery store line
The one they marked express
When this woman came though with about 25 things
And I said don`t you know that more is less
She said this world is moving so fast
I just get more behind everyday
And every mornin` when I make my coffee
I can`t believe my life`s turned out this way
All I could say was

Chorus:
Love`s the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Love`s the only house big enough for all the pain

He was walking by the other day and I said
Hey baby...how you been?
Yeah, I got me a little girl now and she`s 4 years old
And she`s got her daddy`s little grin
You only wanted what you can`t have
And baby you can`t have me now
I gave my heart to another
Yeah I`m a mother
And he`s a father and we`re a family and we got each other
And I found out the hard way that

Repeat Chorus

You drive three miles from all this prosperity
Down across the river and you see a ghetto there
An` We got children walking around with guns
And they got knives and drugs and pain to spare
And here I am in my clean, white shirt,
With a little money in my pocket and a nice warm home
And we got teenagers walking around in a culture of darkness
Living together alone...all I could say is

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
And I can`t explain it, and I can`t understand
But I`ll come down and get my hands dirty and together we`ll make a stand

Somewhere `cross the parking lot, some bands playin` out of tune
City streets are gonna burn if we don`t do something soon
Senorita can`t quit crying, baby`s due now any day
Don Juan left, got sick of trying...no one there to show him the way
She came down to the grocery store and
She said I, I wanna buy a little carton of milk, but I don`t have any money
I said Hey I`ll cover you honey, cause the pain`s gotta go somewhere
Yeah the pains gotta go someplace...
So come on down to my house
Don`t ya know that

Repeat Chorus
