Lyrics The House We've Been Calling a Home - David Allan Coe

Jessie she stares like a cat with a
Bird that has fallen and broke its wing
Terri she puts on her make-up and
Wonders what promise the new day will bring
Debbie stays home with the baby while I work my hands to the bone
Yeah I make a living they do the
Giving in a house we've been calling home
Just a house we've been trying to live
In just a place we've been calling our own
Me and my wives have been spending our
Lives in a house we've been calling home

Jessie's the youngest she always needs
Answers to questions that I just don't know
Terri she can't sit still for a
Moment she's always in some hurry to go
Debbie's been with me the longest
We spend most of our time on the phone
Talking in rhymes with no reasons in
Mind for this house we've been calling home
Just a house we've been trying to live in...
