lyrics

When I buy a house
I wanna settle down in the woods
Put a corn cob on a string
And treat the neighbors like I should

And it's so quiet
Hear the wind through the branches
It's all mine and
I'll never take nothing for granted anymore

When I buy a house
It's gonna have a roof that never leaks
The walls won't be bare, there's room to spare,
And the hardwood floor might creak

But it's my own and
I'm learning to like my space
It's my home and
It's not so easily replaced anymore

When I buy a house
It's gonna have a room where I can think
I'll have a desk for a change
And if I want to, I'll paint the walls pink

No one can convince me
It's more or less for myself
But I won't be busy
Trying to reorganize the shelves anymore

When I buy a house
I'm gonna let my dog sleep in my own bed
We'll run in the yard
And I'll tell her what's in my head

It's been a long time
Without the ones I love
But I'll send them invites
Hope some of 'em aren't too above me anymore

When I buy a house, it's gonna be so lovely
When I buy a house, it's gonna be so lovely

When I buy a house
I'm gonna put a piana in the front room
I'll play guitar late at night
While I'm staring at the moon

I'll feel better
Writing what I feel
And I'm not tethered
To what they say is real anymore

When I buy a house
I feel like the world will make so much sense
Put a little plastic bird feeder
On a giant wooden fence

I feel humbled
Being one with my surroundings
No longer a bumble
Or a mess less than astounding anymore

When I buy a house
I'm gonna put my feet up on the table
