lyrics

House For Sale
Dave Gunning/ Jamie Robinson

There’s a house for sale on a dead end street
With a backyard view of a factory
The walls are strong like solid stone
For twenty years it’s been our home

I worked my life upon the line
Passed the gate ten thousand times
Now we’re hearing that the work is done
They’re gonna cut their losses one by one

Don’t wanna be the last one standing
To see it all fall down
Cause I know where this is going
And I don’t wanna be around when it’s gone

There’s a meeting at the town hall tonight
More bad news from a suit and tie
It’s not what they want but what they have to do
But it doesn’t leave much for me and you

Don’t wanna be the one believe me
To look you in the eyes
But it’s time for us to be moving
So we can leave it all behind when we’re gone

Our house for sale burned through the night
From gods own hand came a lightning strike
We signed the cross in the fire’s heat
And we said goodbye to that dead end street
