Jean Shepard - Your Name's Become A Household Word lyrics

rate me

I just turned out the light upstairs the kids are fast asleep

I listened while they said their prayers for the Lord their souls to keep

And I didn't hear them say your name for the first time since you've gone

Your name's become a houselhold word in every house but home

For gossip doesn't care to hear that you found somebody new

That little pictures have big ears they heard the stories too

But if you should come back home tonight we'd forget the shame we've known

Then your name would be a houselhold word and this house would be a home

Yes your name would be a houselhold word and this house would be a home
