Jessie she stares like a cat with a bird That has fallen and broke its wing Terri she puts on her make-up And wonders what promise the new day will bring Debbie stays home with the baby While I work my hands to the bone Yeah I make a living they do the giving In a house we've been calling home Just a house we've been trying to live in Just a place we've been calling our own Me and my wives have been spending our lives In a house we've been calling home Jessie's the youngest she always needs Answers to questions that I just don't know Terri she can't sit still for a moment She's always in some hurry to go Debbie's been with me the longest We spend most of our time on the phone Talking in rhymes with no reasons in mind For this house we've been calling home Just a house we've been trying to live in Just a place we've been calling our own Me and my wives have been spending our lives In a house we've been calling home
