This House Will Stand

Hurry up baby storm’s almost here
I’ve got the water jugs batteries dang forgot beer
I’ll board up the windows you tie down the kids
I’ve got the radio the flashlight but where’d I put the check list

Chorus

When the lights go out and the storm hits land
when baby cries couch flies and I’ve got my head in my hand
the love beneath this trembling roof is living proof
that the walls can turn to splinters and the slab can turn to sand
but this house this house this house this house will stand

No sign of the dance hall but no worry no gloom
I found a brand new restaurant and The Bijou Theatre right in our living room
When our deluxe ceiling fan became a deluxe starry dome
we turned on the evening breeze oh this house is still a home

Chorus

Bridge

I woke up and found a boat in the backyard
I always wanted a boat
honey remember the neighbors fence
the one that blocked the view
well it’s gone gone gone
to whom do we send a thank you note

When the lights go out and the storm hits land this house with stand
If the wind becomes some kind of wrecking ball reprimand this house will stand
If rubble is our trouble it’s certainly not what we planned and this house this house
this house this house will stand
