Lyrics
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That outdated eighties hardwood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
