This House Ain't Big Enough
Six years old it's cereal for supper
And daddy's sleepin' on the couch again
I wonder what this one this time was over
I guess that's just the way they've always been
But I clean up the bottles before I head on off to bed
Shut off our old console TV set
Sometimes I feel like I disappear
'Cause I don't think they know just what I hear
When they curse each other's names and take the lord's name in vain
It carries through the walls and it echoes down the hall
I wish that I could think they were in love
But this house ain't big enough
I wonder if he'll make service in the morning
'Cause I saw mama press his Sunday shirt
He usually hits home with the sermon
On family and love for what that's worth
And this congregation swears he's a saint
But thoughts like that don't carry too much weight
Yeah sometimes I feel like I disappear
'Cause I don't think they notice what I hear
When they curse each other's names and take the lord's name in vain
It carries through the walls and it echoes down my hall
But I wish that I could think they were in love
But this house ain't big enough
Enough's enough go on give up
It ain't love
It ain't love
Enough's enough go on give up
It ain't love
It ain't love
Sometimes I wish I could just disappear
'Cause I don't think they notice that I'm here
When they curse each other's names and take the lord's name in vain
It carries through the walls and it echoes down my hall
I wish that I could think they were in love
Damnit I wish that I could think they were in love
But this house ain't big enough
This house ain't big enough
