Pink Houses Lyrics by Ashley Monroe

2015

[Verse 1]
There's a black man with a black cat
Living in a black neighborhood
He's got an Interstate
Running through his front yard
You know he thinks that he's got it so good

[Verse 2]
And there's a woman in the kitchen
Cleaning up the evening slop
And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin'
I can remember when you could stop a clock"

[Chorus]
Oh but ain't that America, you and me
Ain't that America
Something to see baby
Ain't that America
Home of the free, yeah
Little pink houses for you and me, mmm mmm

[Verse 3]
There's a young man in a t-shirt
Listening to a rock 'n roll station
He's got greasy hair, greasy smile
He said Lord this must be my destination
'Cause they told me when I was younger
Said boy, you're gonna be President
But just like everything else
Those old crazy dreams
Just kinda came and went

[Chorus]
Aw but ain't that America, for you and me
Ain't that America
Something to see baby
Ain't that America
Home of the free, yeah
Little pink houses for you and me, oh baby

[Verse 4]
Well there's people and more people
What do they know, know, know
Go to work in some high rise
Vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico
There's winners, there's losers
But they ain't no big deal
'Cause the simple man baby
Pays for the thrills and the bills, and the pills that kill

[Chorus]
Aw but ain't that America, you and me
Ain't that America
Something to see baby
Ain't that America
Home of the free, yeah
Aw little pink houses for you and me ah oooh
Little pink houses for you and me
Little pink houses for you and me
