That Old House | Richard Martin

I drove past that old house today,
Where we made love the very day
We bought that old house, that you and I once loved

I stopped out front and got out the car
Just wondering where on earth you are
I never meant for us to be apart

I thought I saw you standing there
With your blue eyes and auburn hair
But I guess I was dreaming again

That old house really looks bad
And without your love, it’s really sad
That old house that you and I once loved

You took your half and moved away
I haven’t seen you since that day
You left that old house that you and I once loved

If you should ever come to town
I hope you’d just drive around
To that old house that you and I once loved

I drove past that old house today

Poet's note: This song has a story. My girlfriend and I were coming back from my cabin on the river, And there was an old house, she said, "stop and let's look at it, we could fix it up and sell it" A year or so later when coming back from the river I saw that old house. (The girlfriend was no longer in the picture) I wrote this song. [email protected]
