House Like That

Chapman Donovan


2nd floor, apartment 10 
Countin' change to pay the rent 
But you can feel when you walk in 
There's somethin' priceless in there 

For a satellite dish and backyard slide 
Family of four in a double-wide 
There's so much love inside 
It spills out in the yard 

Chorus 

I wanna live in a house like that 
Where love wears out our welcome mat 
And our hearts know that's where it's at 
I wanna live in a house like that 
Live with you in a house like that 
(Loving you in a house like that) 

Big ol' mansion on a hill 
Wanna buy you one, if I can, I will 
Oh, but if I can't, you'll love me still 
'Cause what matters most of all 

Is down the road in a little shack 
With a front porch swing and a garden out back 
Two old people been in love like that 
Since the first time they kissed 

(Repeat Chorus) 

A place to watch our babies grow up 
Well, you never know who might show up 
When they've got babies of their own 
They'll have a place that's always home 

(Repeat Chorus)
