Had It Good

When you'd step inside you'd know two worlds collided My brown couch and his black chair My queen mattress, his king bed set The little window a/c unit nearly died And oh that water pressure problem That outdated eighties hardwood But you know, it wasn't really all that bad Yeah I wish we'd known what we had In that 1980's townhome on the corner of McNairy It never turned a lot of heads But it turned us into a family We were young and it was cheap Had more love than square feet We had fun and we had failures A little money, a lot of cat hair And we had it good Don't get me started on that cricket infestation Or that drum set in the kitchen Yeah that was the only place we could fit it And the funniest thing I'd ever seen Is when we duct taped the shower leak And how those front blinds Only held up on that one side, yeah But you know, it wasn't really all that bad Yeah I wish we'd known what we had In that 1980's townhome on the corner of McNairy It never turned a lot of heads But it turned us into a family We were young and it was cheap Had more love than square feet We had fun and we had failures A little money, a lot of cat hair And we had it good Mmm had it good And when our kids grow up They'll ask if they could see it We'll say "sure" and take a quick drive-by Point out that old overgrown road sign And they're gonna laugh and say "is that it I can't believe that's where you lived It's worn and weathered, ain't nothin' holding it together" But they don't know, it wasn't really all that bad Hell, it held together their mom and their dad I miss that 1980's townhome on the corner of McNairy It never turned a lot of heads But it turned us into a family We were young and it was cheap Had more love than square feet We had fun and we had failures A little money, a lot of cat hair And we had it good
