House On A Hill

(album: Warm Your Heart - 1991)

Tired of living in a room without curtains
Tired of sleeping on the floor without a bed
Said if I can't have the good things in life
You know I might as well be dead

I want a house on a hill
Tell me wouldn't that be a thrill
A Cadillac and a pool
Now wouldn't that be cool

Tired of wearing them poor mans shoes
And punching the clock everyday
I'm gonna buy myself a ticket on a choo choo train
I'm gonna make my get away

I want a house on a hill
Tell me wouldn't that be a thrill
A Cadillac and a pool
Now wouldn't that be cool

Now I got a woman
Says she's crazy about me
That's why she's with me every morning, yall
About half past three
She says come on get up
And get on out the door
Because today is only Wednesday and ya got Thursday, Friday to go

I want a house on a hill
Tell me wouldn't that be a thrill
A Cadillac and a pool
Now wouldn't that be cool

Here comes my boss
All up in my face
He says you know
You better do a good job
Cause you can be replaced

Well lord, and I gotta take it
Because the money I need
Because I got you to cry on
And four lil mouths to feed

I want a house on a hill
Tell me wouldn't that be a thrill
A Cadillac and a pool
Now wouldn't that be cool

I want a house on a hill
Tell me wouldn't that be a thrill
A Cadillac and a pool
Now wouldn't that be cool
