Текст песни Step Inside This House - Travis Collins

That picture hanging on the wall was painted by a friend
He gave it to me down and out, when he owed me ten
It doesn't look like much I guess, but it's all that's left of him
And it sure looks nice from over here when the light's a little dim

Step inside this house and I'll sing for you a song
I'll tell you about just where I've been and it shouldn't take too long
I'll show you all the things that I own, my treasures you might say
They couldn't be more than ten dollars worth but they brighten up my day

This book of poems was given to me by a girl I used to know
I guess I've read it front to back, 50 times or so
It's all about the good life, staying at ease with the world
It's funny how I love that book but I never loved that girl

Step inside this house, babe, and I'll sing for you a song
I'll tell you about just where I've been, it shouldn't take too long
I'll show you all the things that I own, my treasures you might say
It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth but it brightens up my day

You hold this piece of glass up to the light that's shining through the door
It's a prism glass, I found it on the road, can you see the tiny rainbow?
Well, it's not really a prism, I guess it just broke in a funny way
I was on my way from Houston, I was heading for LA

Step inside this house, girl, and I'll sing for you a song
I'll tell you about just where I've been, it shouldn't take too long
I'll show you all the things that I own, my treasures you might say
It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth if it brightens up my day

Now this guitar was given to me by old man Thomas Gray
It ain't too much to look at but I play it every day
It's been across this country four or five times I guess
Between me and that old man Tom, well it never got much rest

Step inside this house, girl, and I'll sing for you a song
I'll tell you about just where I've been, it shouldn't take too long
I'll show you all the things that I own, my treasures you might say
It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth that brightens up my day

That's about all that I own and all I care to, I guess
'Xcept this pair of boots maybe, and that funny yellow vest
That leather jacket and that leather bag and the hat hanging on the wall
Just so it's not too much to carry, could I see you again next fall?

Step inside this house, girl, I'll sing for you a song
I'll tell you about just where I've been, it shouldn't take too long
I'll show you all the things that I own, my treasures you might say
It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth, it brightened up my day
