Cash House

Cash House lyrics

Verse 1

I came in with a brown paper bag
No shine, just weight
Branch on Marcy had my name on the slip
Cold floor, noon sun
Oakwood door in the passenger seat
Keys still in my fist
I told the clerk, "Keep it quiet"
She nodded, took the stack

Pre-Chorus

I ain't need no parade
I ain't need your praise
Just a roof that don't leak
And a porch that won't sway

Chorus

Cash house, baby
Cash house, baby
She walked in and froze
Cash house, baby
Cash house, baby
Then she touched that door

Verse 2

Blue coat by the hall
She still kept it there
Coffee cup by the sink
Hairpins in the drawer
I paid for the silence
Paid for the smell of rain
Paid for every cracked step
Under her tired name

Pre-Chorus

I let the paper talk
Let the numbers fade
Kept my grin in my teeth
Till she came that day

Chorus

Cash house, baby
Cash house, baby
She walked in and froze
Cash house, baby
Cash house, baby
Then she touched that door

Bridge

No speech, just tears
Her hand on the frame
I said, "Mama, it's yours"
And I said it plain
All them long nights
Turned into this room
Now your name on the home
And the lock, brand new

Chorus

Cash house, baby
Cash house, baby
She walked in and froze
Cash house, baby
Cash house, baby
Then she touched that door
(That door)
Cash house, baby
Cash house, baby
My whole heart grew roots
