(V1)
Our old house
Battered and torn
Beat up from the anger
And all the hurtful storms
All that is left is this box from years ago
With all its haunting memories
Its so hard to let it go
(Chorus)
You took the tv
Teddy bears and beds
Even the table
Where the blessings, they were said
You took my heart
Locked it in a box
You took everything that I had
And everything is lost
Even the key to this box
(V2)
This broken box
Thrown to the ground
Nothing but pictures and dust all around
If this is all that's left
Then left is what I'll take
Just lock this broken box
And all of its heart aches
(Chorus)
You took my records
The hat right off my head
Even that poster
Signed by the grateful dead
You took my heart
Locked it in a box
You took everything that I had
And everything is lost
Even the key to this box, Woohoo, Hmmmmm, Hmmmmm
(Bridge)
Still want the laughter
And I still want the cries
Still want the way we live
I want them til I die
Memories in this box
And bury me inside
With these memories
That'll never die
(Chorus)
You took the tv
Teddy bears and beds
Even the table
Where the blessings, they were said
You took my heart
Locked it in a box
You took everything that we had
Now everything is lost
Even the key to this box, Woohoo, Hmmmmm, Hmmmmm
(Outro)
Old tattered pictures
Are fading from view
Just like all the good times
And the memories of you
When your chips are down
And your last hand was played
A box of faded memories
Is all that remains
(Chorus)
You took the tv
Teddy bears and beds
Even the table
Where the blessings, they were said
You took my heart
Locked it in a box
You took everything that I had
Now everything is lost
Even the key to this box, Woohoo, Hmmmmm, Hmmmm
