House We've Been Calling Home Lyrics - 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...
