They pulled up in a pick up truck that held everything they owned
G Cadd9
He unlocked the door and carried her over their new threshold
Am7 C Am7 C
They stood there, tears in their eyes, neither one could speak
Am C/B C G
Hand in hand, room by room, oh it was everything
Chorus:
C D G C D C
Three bedrooms, two baths, one car garage, front porch with a swing at one end
G G/F# Em C D
A little over an acre lot all wrapped in a white picket fence
C D G C
It was more than a house, it was home sweet home, where all their dreams came true

3-0-2 South Maple Avenue
Second mortgage, two kids later, they were still goin' strong
They came through all kinds of changes and did some addin' on
They filled each room with memories that money could not buy
They weren't rich, but that old house had a wealth of love inside
Chorus
Bridge:
Am C/B
They're older now and the kids are gone
C D G
They talk about a smaller place
Am C/B
But the life they shared together there
C D
Won't let them move away
