Childhood Dreams
There's a little yellow house
 at the end of the road
 that holds my childhood dreams.
 A midnight cat, a first bike ride,
 and my very first memories.
 
 There's a little brown apartment
 on the borders of town
 that holds my childhood dreams.
 Picking dandelions, moving trucks,
 and kindergarten screams.
 
 There's a little blue apartment
 a few blocks down
 that holds my childhood dreams.
 A leaking air conditioner, tasmanian devil,
 and broken screens.
 
 There's a little white house
 in the middle of town
 that holds my childhood dreams.
 My very own room, Brittany Spears
 and a big apple tree.
 
 There's a little blue house
 built right into a hill
 that holds my childhood dreams.
 A lifelong change, court dates,
 and homemade green beans.
 
 There's a little white apartment
 above the laundry mat
 that holds my childhood dreams.
 Friday night movies, narrow twin beds,
 and an all girl team.
 
 There's a little white apartment
 two doors down
 that hold my childhood dreams.
 A staircase, melted popsicles,
 and a birthday party scene.
 
 There's a little white house
 on fifth street
 that holds my childhood dreams.
 Furry new friends, a yellow bus,
 and preteen schemes.
 
 There's a little blue house
 just outside of town
 that holds my childhood dreams.
 A first tree house, a new sister,
 and running through the stream.
 
 There's a little yellow house
 right on the highway
 that holds my childhood dreams.
 A drink, a smoke,
 and dreams turned into screams.
 
 There's a little place called home
 that stretches across a state
 that holds my childhood dreams.
 The good, the bad,
 and everything in between.
