House For Sale

by Drivin N Cryin

on Mystery Road (1989)

The last thing I wanted was to end up like this
An old man running away from his kids
Tell-tale neighbors bust my block
What I feared is clear
Write me back and rescue me
Everyone has their day in jail

Hold me down around your corner
Tell me something you have won
Sign outside reads "House for sale"
Keeps me running down by law

My mind is made up
I won't lose it again
The last time I feared him
And now I hide within
I used to be a singer
Retired pen in hand
But now they want to turn me into a fighter
And write fight I will show they're foolin'

Hold me down around your corner
Tell me something you have won
Sign outside reads "House for sale"
Keeps me running down by law
