I just heard Keith do this one (live on the radio) and damn if it doesn’t just nail how I am without somebody to watch over me.
No, not just anybody, but a certain someone with whom I’ve shared over half my life.
Tearing The House Down
Woke up to the ringing bell before the sun come up
Got a Circle-K coffee in a Styrofoam cup
Drove you to the airport put you on a plane
You flew up to New York I drove home in the rain
In all the confusion I locked myself out
Had to break a window just to get back in the house
Tried to fix the window but I only broke the door
Went to feed the dog and spilled the food on the floor
I guess that’s what I slipped on the I went to get the phone
Fell into the lamp and cut my finger to the bone
Baby please come home I’m Tearing The House Down
I’m Tearing the whole house down
From the floor to the crown
Every time I turn around I’m running in to trouble
I don’t need a wrecking ball
I don’t need no help at all
I can make this whole thing fall into a pile of rubble
On the ground
I’m Tearing The House Down
It was your sister on the phone
She said “You’re sounding kinda stressed”
I said “I’m bleeding on the rug and it’s making a mess”
She said “run some water on it” so I gave it a shot
But I guess I got it wrong because the water came out hot
Got burned and the next thing what do you think
The phone fell down in the kitchen sink
It’s in the trash compactor dead as a stone
I’m talking to you on the bedroom phone
You’ve always known on my own
I kinda accident prone baby please come home
I’m Tearing The House Down
I’m Tearing the whole house down
From the floor to the crown
Every time I turn around I’m running in to trouble
I don’t need a wrecking ball
I don’t need no help at all
I can make this whole thing fall into a pile of rubble
On the ground
I’m Tearing The House Down
solo
I’m Tearing the whole house down
From the floor to the crown
Every time I turn around I’m running in to trouble
I don’t need a wrecking ball
I don’t need no help at all
I can make this whole thing fall into a pile of rubble
On the ground
I’m Tearing The House Down
