I WAS STANDIN' IN THE
GROCERY STORE LINE
THE ONE THEY MARKED
EXPRESS
WHEN THIS WOMAN
CAME THROUGH
WITH ABOUT
TWENTY-FIVE THINGS
AND I SAID
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT
MORE IS LESS
SHE SAID THIS WORLD
IS MOVIN' SO FAST
I JUST GET MORE BEHIND
EVERY DAY
AND EVERY MORNING
WHEN I MAKE
MY COFFEE
I CAN'T BELIEVE
MY LIFE'S TURNED OUT
THIS WAY
ALL I COULD SAY WAS
LOVE'S THE ONLY HOUSE
BIG ENOUGH
FOR ALL THE PAIN
IN THE WORLD
LOVE'S THE ONLY HOUSE
BIG ENOUGH
FOR ALL THE PAIN
HE WAS WALKIN' BY
THE OTHER DAY
AND I SAID
HEY BABY
HOW YOU BEEN
YEAH I GOT ME
A LITTLE GIRL NOW
AND SHE'S
FOUR YEARS OLD
AND SHE'S GOT HER
DADDY'S LITTLE GRIN
AND YOU ONLY WANTED
WHAT YOU CAN'T HAVE
AND BABY
YOU CAN'T HAVE ME NOW
I GAVE MY HEART
TO ANOTHER
YEAH I'M A MOTHER
AND HE'S A FATHER
AND WE'RE A FAMILY
AND WE GOT EACH OTHER
AND I FOUND OUT
THE HARD WAY
THAT LOVE'S
THE ONLY HOUSE
BIG ENOUGH FOR ALL
THE PAIN IN THE WORLD
LOVE'S THE ONLY HOUSE
BIG ENOUGH
FOR ALL THE PAIN
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
YOU DRIVE THREE MILES
FROM ALL THIS
PROSPERITY
DOWN ACROSS
THE RIVER
AND YOU SEE
A GHETTO THERE
AND WE GOT CHILDREN
WALKIN' AROUND
WITH GUNS
AND THEY GOT KNIVES
AND DRUGS
AND PAIN TO SPARE
AND HERE I AM
IN MY CLEAN WHITE
SHIRT
WITH A LITTLE MONEY
IN MY POCKET
AND A NICE WARM HOME
AND WE GOT TEENAGERS
WALKIN' AROUND
IN A CULTURE
OF DARKNESS
LIVIN' TOGETHER ALONE
ALL I CAN SAY IS
LOVE'S THE ONLY HOUSE
BIG ENOUGH
FOR ALL THE PAIN
IN THE WORLD
LOVE'S THE ONLY HOUSE
BIG ENOUGH
FOR ALL THE PAIN
AND I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT
AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND
BUT I'LL COME DOWN
AND GET MY HANDS DIRTY
AND TOGETHER
WE'LL MAKE A STAND
SOMEWHERE
'CROSS THE PARKING LOT
SOME BAND'S PLAYIN'
OUT OF TUNE
CITY STREETS
ARE GONNA BURN
IF WE DON'T DO
SOMETHING SOON
A SENORITA CAN'T QUIT
CRYIN'
BABY'S DUE NOW
ANY DAY

GOT SICK OF TRYIN'
NO ONE THERE
TO SHOW HIM THE WAY
SHE CAME DOWN TO
THE GROCERY STORE

CARTON OF MILK
