I Was In The House When The House Burned Down

(альбом: Shooter Jennings And The Werewolves Of Los Angeles Do Zevon - 2023)

I had the shit 'til it all got smoked
I kept the promise 'til the vow got broke
I had to drink from the loving cup
I stood on the banks 'til the river rose up
I saw the bride in her wedding gown
I was in the house when the house burned down

I may be old and I may be bent
But I had the money 'til it all got spent
I had the money 'til they made me pay
And I had the sense just to walk away
I had to stay in the underground
I was in the house when the house burned down

I was in the house when the house burned down
I met the man with the thorny crown
I helped him carry his cross through town
I was in the house when the house burned down

I was in the house when the house burned down
I met the man with the thorny crown
I helped him carry his cross through town
I was in the house when the house burned down

I had the shit 'til it all got smoked
I kept the promise 'til the vow got broke
I had to drink from the loving cup
I stood on the banks 'til the river rose up
I saw the bride in her wedding gown
I was in the house when the house burned down
