By Terri Hendrix

lyrics

I want a vintage bathtub with a circular curtain rod
Make it porcelain with brass claw feet
I want a shower that gushes a toilet that flushes
I think I need a sink that doesn't leak

I want central air and central heat
In a good neighborhood on a good little street
Don't want no crack in my foundation or my neighbors doin' crack
Make it everything I have and everything I lack

When this whole world is in my face
I wanna shut the door and hide in my own place

I want instant credit give it to me honey
How am I gonna get it if you won't loan me the money
How am I gonna get it
My american dream
If you give me the ice
And you keep the cream

Your concrete world has gotta cut me some slack
I gotta climb out from between the cracks
With your interest rates
So high high high
How am I ever gonna
Own what I buy

When this whole world is in my face
I wanna shut the door and hide in my own place

I want kitchen tile and hardwood floors
A brand new roof and a wrap around porch
I want a wooden deck underneath some trees
On a hill with a view I wanna do what I please

Your concrete world has gotta rise from the dead
I gotta wake up in my own place in my own bed
With all the doors unlocked
With all the windows open
And not a not a care
Not a not a care
Not a not a care inside of my head

When this whole world is in my face
I wanna shut the door and hide in my own place

Oh here I am
You have to have been here to understand
You have to have been here
And done this to see
I need a payday
I need a windfall
I need to get the key

To my own place
My own place
I wanna shut the door and hide
In my own place
