Story Behind The Song

Just seeing signs in yards a lot more it seems... You wonder if they WANT to sell or HAVE to.

Song Description

A newly wed couple buying a house from an old man who has married and raised his family there.

Lyrics

FOR SALE BY OWNER

It was a two-story frame house on a road through the woods;
And it?d seen a few winters but the roof still looked good.
The old man met us smiling but my bride?s eyes foretold
She?d made her mind up before we?d turned off the road.

Chorus:

He said ?it?s for sale by owner, like it says on the sign?,
I?ll sell my fond memories and all my good times.
And it ain?t the money that?s important you see
Can you bring back the joy this house brought to me.

He showed us 5 bedrooms said they filled ?em all
And he showed us the doorbacks where they watched ?em grow tall
He said I built her in 50 with my brand new wife
It?s a place to put roots down and stay all your life.

Chorus:

But now it?s for sale by owner, like it says on the sign,
I?ll see my fond memories and all my good times.
And it ain?t the money that?s important you see
Can you bring back the joy this house brought to me.

Now you can buy you a house, you can buy you a home
If it?s a house that you?re wantin? then please move along,
And you know some children might be what this house needs
I winked at her, she smiled back at me.

Chorus:

And it was for sale by owner, like it said on the sign.
Now we?re makin? fond memories and livin? good times
And it still ain?t the money that?s important you see,
It?s home not a house that bring joy to me
And it was for sale by owner like it said on the sign.
