[Verse 1]
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 G.I. 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
[Verse 2]
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
A man from Dallas kept it up
Until he moved away
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 G.I. 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
[Verse 2]
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
A man from Dallas kept it up
Until he moved away
