lyrics

Bless this Home

From the city to the country
By way of Canarsie
Packed like sardines in station wagon
My wife says where is he taking me?
Moved to a new town, we put just enough down,
And the wind was whipping cold
That first night in sleeping bags we lay
I said “God bless this home”

God bless this home
This first thing I’ve ever owned
Keep everyone safe inside
So if anything should happen
To me, at least I’ll know that
They’ll be safe & sound

A big storm came that first night and I took it as a good sign
The house stood tall and sturdy
2 little soldiers and my wife sound asleep
And the dog watching over everybody
I didn’t sleep much, with the place settling and such
And I kept my shotgun close
This floor is pretty cold and the future’s unknown
God bless this home

Oh, bless this home
I took out a big loan
And I hope that I can provide
Because, if anything should happen
To me, the debt falls on them
I can’t leave them on there own

(Break 2x)

Take care of this home
Right now it’s pretty bare boned
But, I know we’ll fix it up nice
We’ll look after each other, maybe add another brother
But, on that one I better check with my wife

From the city, to the country
By way of Canarsie
The sun’s coming up, on this home full of love
And the future is all on me
The sun’s coming up; I hope I’ve got enough
The future is all on me
The sun’s coming up, now it’s time to man up
The future is all on me
