My Own Place Lyrics & Tabs by Terri Hendrix
My Own Place
guitar chords lyrics
I want a vintage bathtub with a circular curtain rod
Make it porcelain with brass claw feet
I want a shower that gushes a toilet that flushes
And I think I need a sink that doesn't leak
I want central air and central heat
In a good neighborhood on a good li'l street
Don't want no crack in my foundation
Or my neighbors doing crack
Make it everything I have and everything I lack
When this whole world is in my face
I wanna shut the door and hide in my own place
I want instant credit give it to me, honey
How am I gonna get it if you don't loan me the money
How am I gonna get it my American dream
If you give me the ice and you keep the cream
How am I gonna get it if you don't loan me the money
How am I gonna get it my American dream
If you give me the ice and you keep the cream
Your concrete world has gotta cut me some slack
I gotta climb out from between the cracks
With your interest rates this high, high, high
How am I ever gonna own what I buy
I want kitchen tile and hardwood floors
A brand new roof and a wrap around porch
I want a wooden deck underneath some trees
On a hill with a view, I wanna do what I please
Your concrete world has gotta rise from the dead
I gotta wake up in my own place in my own bed
With all the doors unlocked with all the windows open
With not a, not a care, not a, not a care
Not a, not a care inside of my head
Oh here I am, you have to have been here to understand
You have to have been here and done this to see
That I need a payday I need a windfall
I need to get the key to my own place my own place
I wanna shut the door and hide in my own place
