"Two Story House" lyrics - GEORGE JONES

GEORGE JONES
"Two Story House"
(David Lindsay / Glenn Tubb / Tammy Wynette)

[George:]
We always wanted a big two story house
Back when we lived in that little two room shack
[Both:]
We wanted fame and fortune
And we'd live life the way the rich folks do
We knew some how we'd make it,
Together me and you

[Tammy:]
With dreams and hopes of things to come
We worked and never stopped
Not much time for you and me
We had to reach the top

[Both:]
We bought that big two story house
And soon became the envy of the town
With all our work behind us
We'd finally settled down
Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house

[George:]
Whoa, what splendor
[Both:]
But there's no love about
[Tammy:]
I've got my story
[George:]
And I've got mine, too
[Both:]
How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

The house is filled with rare antiques
There's marble on the floor
Beauty all around us
Like we've never seen before
There's chandeliers in every room
Imported silks and satin all about
We filled the house with everything
But somehow left love out

Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house
[George:]
Oh what splendor
[Both:]
But there's no love about
[Tammy:]
I've got my story
[George:]
And I've got mine, too
[Both:]
How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house...
