little red house

[Verse 1]
Take me back out to the little red house in the country
Walk me down to the water and say you still love me
Take me downtown, spin me around in my little dress
It's hanging here in the closet, with all my regrets

[Chorus]
And I'm long gone
And I moved on
Swore I'd never look back
I knew that I couldn't stay
I don't wanna remember you that way
So I was thinking for just one day
We could run away to the little red house
Little red house

[Verse 2]
Pull out the pain, hang it back on the wall
In the eye of the storm, it don't look so bad at all
But I left my car running in your gravel drive
'Cause I knew before long that you'd remind me of why

[Chorus]
Why I'm long gone
And I moved on
Swore I'd never look back
I knew that I couldn't stay
And I don't wanna remember you that way
I was thinking for just one day
That we could run away to the little red house
Little red house

Staying away from the little red house in the country
Done trying to pretend that you ever loved me
This forgiveness ain't for you, it's for me
But I pray someday, you'll be set free

[Chorus]
And I'm long gone
And I moved on
Now I'm never looking back, no
I knew that I couldn't stay
I don't wanna remember you that way
I thank God for that final day
When I ran away from that little red house
Ooh, that little red house
Little red house
