The House Down The Block Lyrics by Buck Owens
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
The house my family lives in just down the block
Many times I passed there but I never stopped
I go on all alone a wishin' I could be
in that house down the block with my family.

When we meet upon the street I just bow my head
They don't know how often I wish that I was dead
To our name I brought the shame but still I long to be
In that house down the block with my family.

--- Instrumental ---

When Gabriel blows his trumpet and time will be no more
When mem'ries fade, my daddy's faith I'll walk up to the door
The tears that fall won't start at all and God will let me be
In that house down the block with my family...
The house my family lives in just down the block   Many times I passed there but I never stopped   I go on all alone a wishin' I could be   in that house down the block with my family.      When we meet upon the street I just bow my head   They don't know how often I wish that I was dead   To our name I brought the shame but still I long to be   In that house down the block with my family.      --- Instrumental ---      When Gabriel blows his trumpet and time will be no more   When mem'ries fade, my daddy's faith I'll walk up to the door   The tears that fall won't start at all and God will let me be   In that house down the block with my family...
