Our house, in the middle of our streetOur house, in the middle of ourOur house, in the middle of our streetOur house (Something tells you)(That you've got to move away from it) In the middle of our
Father gets up late for workMother has to iron his shirtThen she sends the kids to schoolSees them off with a small kiss (Ah, ah, ah, ah)She's the one they're going to missIn lots of ways

My friend Steve Stoll had one of those Dodge caravans from the early 80’s and one day when his dad was driving us around one of those big wide load trucks came through town hauling a house through town. His dad pulled up behind the driver and cranked this song as loud as he could with the windows down. At the time o thought it was just brilliant. Because it was literally a house in the middle of the street. I miss the 80’s.
