House That Love Built lyrics

Song information

Artist: The Jeff Healey Band
Album: Feel This

Lyrics

The bar was filled with smoke and lies
I couldn't see a thing, it burned my eyes
I pushed a strange woman off my lap
She had a snake tattooed on her thigh

The doors opened into the night
The silence kissed my worried life
I heard a song comin' from the back
It played over and over again

Chorus

I stood just around the bend, over the hill
Across the river bed, one step closer to hell
If I forget about my past, forget about my guilt
I go back to the house that love built, that love built

I went back to the bar again
And headed straight for the band
I need to remember not to forget
All the life and the love we had

So play that song and make it right
Get me out of this lonely night
Slapped all my money into his hand
Said play it over and over again

Chorus

Let me come inside, baby
Let me come inside into the house that love built
That love built, the house that love built
The house that love built
