The bar was filled with smoke and lies

I couldn't see a thing it burned my eyes

I pushed a strange woman off my lap

She had a snake tattooed on her back

The doors opened into the night

The silence kissed my worried life

I heard a song coming from the back

It played over and over again

I stood just around the bend over the hill

Across the river bed one step closer to hell

If I forget about my past forget about my guilt

I go back to the house that love built that love built

I went back to the bar again

And headed straight for the band

I need to remember not to forget

All the life and the love we had

So play that song and make it right

Get me out of this lonely night

Slapped all my money into his hand

Said play it over and over again

Let me come inside baby

Let me come inside into the house that love built

That love built the house that love built

The house that love built
