Slamabama - Front Door Lyrics

A big promotion came my way, relocation better pay
I bought an acre north of the Mason-Dixon line
An architect surveyed the land, sat me down and showed me plans
For a little house he'd recently designed
I shook his hand and said, sir, I approve
But there's a couple things that I need you to do
Make sure my front door faces south
So every time that I look out
I'm looking back at where I come from
Leave that big oak in the yard
To remind me that it ain't so hard
When the roots are deep, the branches still grow strong
Make my front door face the South, so when I walk out
I'm closer to home
Mom and Dad called me today, making sure that I'm okay
And if there's anything I need, I just gotta ask
I said, it's been cold, but kinda nice, a little higher priced
And the people, well, they talk a little fast
Mom said, don't forget about us all down here
I said, Mama, you ain't got a thing to fear
Because my front door faces south
And every time that I look out
I'm looking back at where I come from
I've got that big oak in the yard
To remind me that it ain't so hard
When the roots are deep, the branches still grow strong
Yeah, my front door faces south, so when I walk out
I'm closer to home
I may not have a life of pure perfection
But I start each day out in the right direction
I've got that big oak in the yard
To remind me that it ain't so hard
When the roots are deep, the branches still grow strong
Yeah, my front door faces south, so when I walk out
I'm one step closer to home
Yeah, when I walk out my house
I'm closer to home
Because my front door faces south
