The Daily Boost #528
Your whole world is sitting right there—on the roof!
(Well, maybe I’d need a house a little bigger than the one whose roof these guys are sitting on.)
BIGGER HOUSES Dan & Shay Used to dream about buying that bigger house sitting on top of some hill Losing sleep about filling my bank account wondering if I ever will But the older I get I just care less and less ‘bout keeping up with people named Jones If you don’t fill it up with somebody that you love it ain’t ever gonna feel like home There’s always gonna be a higher high You could chase for the rest of your life Greener grass in the yard next door Or a shined up Chevy little newer than yours You’re never gonna fill an empty cup if what you got’s still not enough The thing about happiness I’ve found is It don’t live in bigger houses I can hear the kids making little footsteps running down the hallway upstairs I can see the dogs playing in the back yard through the kitchen window right there Maybe life’s kinda more 'bout a swing on the porch holding her while the sun disappears Why would I wanna be anywhere else in the world when my whole world is sitting right here
(My thanks to Dan & Shay.)
