PRETTY HOUSE FOR SALE
(Harold Dorman / Wiley Gann)


Charley Pride - 1971



Well hello there, come on in, I've been expecting you, my friend
Guess you came to see the house, yes it's for sale
All the neighbours are so fine, they're the friendly helpful kind
There's so many extras here that you'll enjoy

See the fireplace in the den and the bar we had built in
And the paintings, aren't they pretty on the wall
All the curtains and the shades, oh, she had them custom made
You can have them, don't want nothing left at all

A home where love once lived then died, where a million mem'ries hide
If these walls could talk, a story they could tell
How a stranger came to town and my world came tumblin' down
Now our home is just a pretty house for sale

(Instrumental Break)

A home where love once lived then died, where a million mem'ries hide
If these walls could talk, a story they could tell
With a stranger you left town and my world came tumblin' down
Now our home is just a pretty house for sale
Yes, our home is just a pretty house for sale
