George Cue

When I got home today I found
A letter waiting to bring me down
My tears stained the words my baby wrote

It said baby you were born to roam
But I'm homesick so I'm going home
Back to people and places I love

Chorus
This house is old and needs work but it will do
Those things I can fix, but I can't change you
You can fix a house with wood, nails and paint
But you can't make someone be something they ain't
I'll make this house strong and noble and true
And I'll be a good neighbor
Just like George Cue

I wrote about the house I leased
Past Eutsler's farm down the road apiece
Just outside the town where we grew up

I said you can have those city lights
I need to see the stars in the sky
But you'll always be the one I love

Chorus
This house is old and needs work but it will do
Those things I can fix, but I can't change you
You can fix a house with wood, nails and paint
But you can't make someone be something they ain't
I'll make this house strong and noble and true
And I'll be a good neighbor
Just like George Cue

Bridge
When I was young I couldn't wait to leave
But now I'm through making believe
That I can live all by myself
So baby I'm coming home
Back to the place where I belong

Chorus
That house is old and needs work but it will do
Those things we can fix, long as I have you
You can fix a house with wood, nails and paint
But you can't make someone be something they ain't
We'll make that house strong and noble and true
And we'll be a good neighbors
Just like George Cue
