Ode To The Little Brown Shack Out Back - Billy Edd Wheeler[00:00:00]
Written By:Billy Edd Wheeler[00:00:02]
They passed an ordinance in the town[00:00:09]
They said we'd have to tear it down[00:00:11]
That little old shack out back[00:00:13]
So dear to me[00:00:15]
Though the health department said[00:00:18]
It's day was over and dead[00:00:20]
It will stand forever in my memory[00:00:22]
Don't let 'em tear that[00:00:26]
Little brown building down[00:00:29]
Don't let 'em tear that[00:00:31]
Precious building down[00:00:33]
Don't let 'em tear that[00:00:35]
Little brown building down[00:00:38]
For there's not another like it[00:00:40]
In the country or the town[00:00:42]
It was not so long ago that[00:00:47]
I went tripping through the snow[00:00:50]
Out to that house behind[00:00:52]
My old hound dog[00:00:54]
Where I'd sit me down to rest[00:00:56]
Like a snowbird on his nest[00:00:58]
And read the Sears and Roebuck catalog[00:01:01]
I would hum a happy tune[00:01:08]
Peeping through the quarter moon[00:01:10]
As my daddy's kin had done before[00:01:12]
It was in that quiet spot[00:01:16]
Daily cares could be forgot[00:01:19]
It gave the same relief[00:01:21]
To rich and poor[00:01:23]
Don't let 'em tear that[00:01:25]
Little brown building down[00:01:27]
Don't let 'em tear that[00:01:29]
Precious building down[00:01:32]
Don't let 'em tear that[00:01:33]
Little brown building down[00:01:36]
For there's not another like it[00:01:38]
In the country or the town[00:01:40]
Now it was not a castle fair[00:01:48]
But I could dream my future there[00:01:50]
Build my castles to[00:01:52]
The yellow jacket's drone[00:01:54]
I could orbit around the sun[00:01:56]
Fight with General Washington[00:01:59]
Or be a King upon a golden throne[00:02:01]
It wasn't fancy built at all[00:02:05]
It had newspapers on the wall[00:02:07]
It was air conditioned[00:02:10]
In the wintertime[00:02:11]
It was just a humble hut[00:02:14]
But it's door was never shut[00:02:16]
And a man could get inside[00:02:18]
Without a dime[00:02:20]
Don't let 'em tear that[00:02:22]
Little brown building down[00:02:24]
Don't let 'em tear that[00:02:26]
Precious building down[00:02:29]
Don't let 'em tear that[00:02:31]
Little brown building down[00:02:33]
For there's not another like it[00:02:35]
In the country or the town[00:02:37]
