Maybe This House Jim Ryan, 1982
Welcome in, look around
Yes, I’m new to this town
My house is not fancy you see
Yes I’ve had ups, I’ve had downs
Wore the smile of a clown
Maybe this house holds something for me
You can see the traces of where I have been
You can see all the people I’ve known
You can see from my face, come the lines to the pen
And this last year, oh Lord how I’ve grown
Ever wonder what it takes
To make a change in your life
You don’t see til its over and done
It may take a loss, oh Lord what it costs
But in losing, a victory is won
You can see the traces of where I have been
You can see all the people I’ve known
You can see from my face, come the lines to the pen
And this last year, oh Lord how I’ve grown
