The House That Broke Me
The new owners said
Don't come back again
But sir, this is where I'll spend my last dime
Fannie Mae swore this would never happen
Then I came home to that foreclosed sign
I re-did those steps
Added on a master bedroom
Built a big new deck
Put it all on my Master-card
I guess I didn't know
I thought my interest rate was low
So I went ahead and sodded the yard
I thought that when I bought this place I'd steal it
But I didn't know how bad that the paint was a peeling
I wish I died and someone else
And I signed the loan all by myself
I had no choice but to file bankruptcy
This rehab was a travesty
I hate the house that broke me
Went on Craigslist after a couple beers
Bought that house through Paypal sight unseen
Over drawn but thought for sure if I had those heated floors
It'd sell quick in a real estate magazine
I wonder if that upstairs toilet's still leaking
The first night there it fell right through that ceiling
I bought a little duct tape and some JB Weld
Thought that maybe I could fix it myself
If you ever need a plumber don't call me
I'm just as bad at carpentry
At the house that broke me
You lose your home
Default on your loan
And it moves Uncle Sam
I lost all I had and this whole world
And I still owe a hundred grand
I thought I could afford those monthly payments
But I lost my job and I burned right through my savings
Freddie Mac said I qualifty
But now I know that son of a(bleep)lied
I guess I watch too much HGTV
Flipping house is a crazy
I hate the house that broke me
I'd like to blow up the house that broke me
