Lyrics

When the screen door slams I'll be out that door for good
When the screen door slams I ain't out back chopping wood
It's been far too long since we've had peace
No matter what I do, you scream and it don't cease
When the screen door slams

When we built this home I said "Babe, it's just for us."
When laid the stone we were new and full of trust
Then the thunder came and the roof it leaked
The dog went lame - had to put him down that week
When we built this home

With everything to live for things began to die
And if the end is nearing we're still the fools who tried

When I call on God and I promise I will change
When I call on God belief seems mighty strange
It's been far too long since we've known peace
No matter what we do we make a mess of things
When we call on God

With everything to live for things began to die
And if the end is nearing we're still the fools who tried
When the screen door slams, I'll be out that door for good...
