I couldn't even reach the sink to brush my teeth
The heater was broke in the winter, we wore long sleeves
We'd race from the front to the back door, in under three seconds
We didn't have much back then, but I thought it was heaven
[Chorus]
There were pictures of us on the wall
And my momma complained that the kitchen was small
You could hear the TV down the hall
Didn't have to go far if I needed to talk
I'm a million miles away tonight
But I can walk through that house if I just close my eyes
It was only 1200 square feet
It wasn't much but it was enough for me
Oohh-ohh-oh
Oohh-ohh-oh
[Verse 2]
Mom and dad got separate places, it didn't work out
Lawyers and real estate agents and tears on the couch
My new room was bigger and nicer, and smelled like new paint
But I'd lay awake in the darkness, remember those days
[Chorus]
There were pictures of us on the wall
And my momma complained that the kitchen was small
You could hear the TV down the hall
Didn't have to go far if I needed to talk
I'm a million miles away tonight
But I can walk through that house if I just close my eyes
It was only 1200 square feet
It wasn't much but it was enough for me
Oohh-ohh-oh
Oohh-ohh-oh
Oohh-ohh-oh
(Wanna go back, wanna go back, wanna go back)
Oohh-ohh-oh
(Wanna go back, wanna go back, wanna go back)
[Chorus]
There were pictures of us on the wall
And my momma complained that the kitchen was small
You could hear the TV down the hall
Didn't have to go far if I needed to talk
I'm a million miles away tonight
But I can walk through that house if I just close my eyes
It was only 1200 square feet
It wasn't much but it was enough for me
