Tear Down the House

Tear down the house that I grew up in
I'll never be the same again
Take everything that I've collected
And throw it in a pile

Bulldoze the woods that I ran through
Carry the pictures of me and you
I have no memory of who I once was
And I don't remember your name

Park the old car that I love the best
Inspection's due and it won't pass the test
It's funny how I have to put it to rest
And how one day I will join it

I remember crying over you
And I don't mean like a couple of tears and I'm blue
I'm talking about collapsing and screaming at the moon
But I'm a better man for having gone through it
Yes I'm a better man for having gone through

Ever since I learned how to curse
I've been using those sorry old words
But I'm talking to these children and I'm keeping it clean
I don't need those words to say what I mean, no
I don't need those words to say what I mean

Tear down the house that I grew up in
I'll never be the same again
Take everything that I used to own
And burn it in a pile

And bulldoze the woods that I ran through
Carry the pictures of me and you
I have no memory of who I once was
And I don't remember your name
