Artist/Band: Rodney Crowell
Lyrics for Song: That 'ol Door
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Rodney Crowell



We moved into a house in Tennessee


From the California desert where we did not wanna be


Where the grass was high and the rivers green the sky was always blue


It was 1982 the world was still brand new


Oh the front door to that house was very strong


As long as we were living there I knew nothing could go wrong


So we had our kids we made our lives work out the best we could


Behind that ol' piece of wood in a world we understood





That ol' door was always open that ol' door was never closed


That ol' door was our protection when the need arose


That ol' door was ever faithful that ol' door was ever strong


That ol' door was there to open up and welcome me back home


Welcome me back home





We never knew how good we get it there


So we went right on living like we didn't have a care


And when the only thing that mattered didn't matter after all


And the writin' on the wall said we're headed for a fall





That ol' door was always open that ol' door was standing guard


That ol' door was there to witness when the times were hard


That ol' door was ever faithful that ol' door was in our bones


That ol' door was there to open up and welcome me back home


Welcome me back home





[ dobro ]





Sometimes when the leaves blow down the track


Something deep inside of me bring all those memories back


And that door comes round to haunt me with those chiseled marks that show


Just how much a kid can grow in a world still moving slow


That ol' door was always open...


We moved into a house in Tennessee


From the California desert where we did not wanna be


Where the grass was high and the rivers green the sky was always blue


It was 1982 the world was still brand new
