Small Two-bedroom Starter Lyrics - Reba Mcentire

The house stood empty on a corner 

Waiting for a brand new owner 

A soldier off to war who had to leave his bride alone 

She couldn't buy too many nice things 

On a GI bill and daydreams 

But she tried until they told her 

He was never coming home 

Chorus: 

Small two bedroom starter 

Needs a little fixing 

A great big yard for kids and pets to play 

This one won't last too long 

It's close to schools and churches 

Owner leaving town 

You better hurry down today

Bought by the high school teacher 

Sold it to a baptist preacher 

Who couldn't pay his taxes 

Cause his flock had gone astray 

So the banker fenced the yard in 

Planted trees and half a garden 

The man from Dallas kept it up 

Till he moved away 

Repeat Chorus 

You and I we built the playroom 

For the baby that came too soon 

Spent money that we didn't have 

Trying to make this place our own 

Photos 

Lord it makes me feel like dying 

After all these years of trying 

Honey we'll just bought this house 

That we can't seem to make a home 

Repeat Chorus 

Small two bedroom starter 

Waiting for a brand new owner
