Warren Zevon Lyrics

Album: Life'll Kill Ya

I Was In The House When The House Burned Down Lyrics

Warren Zevon, Zevon Music BMI

I had the shit till it all got smoked 

I kept the promise till the vow got broke 

I had to drink from the lovin' cup 

I stood on the banks till 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 till it all got spent 

I had the money till they made me pay 

Then I had the sense to be on my way 

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 till it all got smoked 

I kept the promise till the vow got broke 

I had to drink from the lovin' cup 

I stood on the banks till the river rose up 

I saw the bride in her wedding gown 

I was in the house when the house burned down
