Homeless - Parker Millsap, Michael Rose

I wish I had a house

I’d fill it with a girl

She’d dance across the kitchen floor

And I wouldn’t mind

If she stood to speak her mind

'Cause she’d already be on mine

I’d fill that house with clocks that don’t keep time

That way I’d never run out of it even if I tried

I wish I had a house

I’d fill it up with my life

I wish I had house

I’d fill it with a child

She’d throw up on the kitchen tile

And I wouldn’t care

If she did not brush her hair

So long as she stayed away from my chair

And I’d fill that child with words and breaths of air

Teach her how to steal and how to share

I wish I had a house

I’d keep my life in there

But houses, they don’t come cheap

And you’d get sick of me after just a few weeks

The children, they grow old and then they leave

I wish I had a house

Maybe I’d keep it just for me
