That picture hangin' on the wall   Was painted by a friend   He gave it to me all down and out   When he owed me ten      It doesn't look like much I guess   But it's all that's left of him   It sure is nice from right over here   When the light's a little dim      Step inside this house girl   I'll sing for you a song   I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been   It shouldn't take too long      I'll show you all the things that I own   My treasures you might say   It couldn't be more then ten dollars worth   They brighten up my day      And this book of poems was given to me   By a girl I used to know   I guess I read it front to back   Fifty times or so      It's all about the good life   And stayin' at ease with the world   It's funny how I love that book   And I never loved that girl      Step inside this house girl   I'll sing for you a song   I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been   It shouldn't take too long      I'll show you all the things that I own   My treasures you might say   It couldn't be more then ten dollars worth   That brighten up my day      And you hold this piece of glass   Up to the light that's shining through the door   It's a prism glass I found it on the road   And can't you see that tiny rainbow?      It's not really a prism I guess   It just kinda broke a funny way   I was on my way through Houston   And I was headed for L.A.      And step inside this house girl   I'll sing for you a song   I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been   It shouldn't take too long      I'll show you all the things that I own   My treasures you might say   It couldn't be more then ten dollars worth   That brighten up my day      And this guitar was given me   By an old man Thomas Gray   It's not too much to look at   But I play it everyday      It's been across this country   Four or five times I guess   Between me and old man Tom   It never got much rest      Step inside this house girl   I'll sing for you a song   I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been   It shouldn't take too long      I'll show you all the things that I own   My treasures you might say   It couldn't be more then ten dollars worth   That brighten up my day      And that's just about all that I own   All I care to I guess   Except this pair of boots maybe   And that funny yellow vest      And that leather jacket and that leather bag   And hat hangin' on the wall   Just so it's not too much to carry be   Could I see you again next fall?      Step inside this house girl   I'll sing for you a song   I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been   It shouldn't take too long      I'll show you all the things that I own   My treasures you might say   It couldn't be more then ten dollars worth   That brighten up my day
