1200 sq ft

I couldn’t even reach the sink

To brush my teeth

The heater was broke in the winter

We wore long sleeves

We'd race from the front to the back door in under three seconds

We didn't have much back then, but I thought it was Heaven

There were pictures of us on the wall

And my momma complained that the kitchen was small

You could hear the TV down the hall

Didn’t have to go far if I needed to talk

I’m a million miles away tonight

But I can walk through that house

If I just close my eyes

It was only twelve-hundred square feet

It wasn’t much

But it was enough for me

Mom and dad got separate places, it didn't work out

Lawyers and real estate agents, and tears on the couch

My new room was bigger and nicer, it smelled like new paint

But I’d lay awake in the darkness and remember those days

There were pictures of us on the wall

And my momma complained that the kitchen was small

You could hear the TV down the hall

Didn’t have to go far if I needed to talk

I’m a million miles away tonight

But I can walk through that house

If I just close my eyes

It was only twelve-hundred square feet

It wasn’t much

But it was enough for me

I want to go back

Want to go back, want to go back

Want to go back, want to go back

There were pictures of us on the wall

And my momma complained that the kitchen was small

You could hear the TV down the hall

Didn’t have to go far if I needed to talk

I’m a million miles away tonight

But I can walk through that house

If I just close my eyes

It was only twelve-hundred square feet

It wasn’t much

But it was enough for me
