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]
