Hamer House
That old house in Hamer, still sittin’ there
Just south of South of the Border, but no one cares
The windows are busted out, the yard’s all overgrown
I’m drawn by childhood memories, so I take the long way home

(chorus)
Pecans are fallin’, Mama’s callin’
Get down from that magnolia tree
Shellin’ peas on Sunday, runnin’ up the driveway
Mama saved me from a swarm of bees
Mama saved me from a swarm of bees

That old house in Hamer, by a cotton field
The front porch swing is broken, the paint is peeled
The kitchen celing has sunken in, the screen door has fallen down
The barn is barely standin’, busted beer bottles on the ground

(chorus)
Standing here with the ghosts in the hall
Next to my old bedroom where we wrote our names on the wall
Here I am in Mama’s house
I wipe the tears on the sleeve of my blouse

(chorus)

That old house in Hamer, still sittin’ there
Just south of South of the Border, but no one cares
