lyrics

In that house is where we marked how much I grew
Mama took the doorjamb with her when she moved
Where I sang songs to myself and played Daddy's old guitar
And spent my Friday nights when I wrecked my first car

And up that hill is where we'd sled when it'd start to snow
My friend Carter tried to kiss me, he turned and ran when I said no
In the woods we'd play house, start our new lives amongst the trees
Tripping over fallen logs, coming home with scraped hands and knees

It takes time to build a new home
You get used to the old, then all the old is gone
I love the time I can spend here
And though I cannot stay
I give all my love and highest regards to that good ole VA

At that pizza place is where I had my very first date
I was so grateful he came, didn't notice he was ten minutes late
I started planning our wedding, white dress and dogwood flower bouquet
Pretty classy affair, considering we were only in the eighth grade

It takes time to build a new home
You get used to the old, then all the old is gone
But if love is all we need
If that's the simplest way
Then I'll miss you and I'll see you soon is all I'll need to say

We drove the 800 miles, fueled by fast food and apple jacks
Dad said "I'll come pick you up if you decide you wanna come back"
He said, "Here's some money, please don't spend it on booze
And I'll kick your ass if you come home with tattoos"

It takes time to build a new home
You get used to the old, then all the old is gone
I like my clay red and summers green
And I like my mountains blue
So though I am away, my heart belongs to you
