That picture hangin' on the wall

Was painted by a friend

He gave it to me all down and out

When he owed me ten It doesn't look like much I guess

But it's all that's left of him

It sure is nice from right over here

When the light's a little *** Step inside this house girl

I'll sing for you a song

I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been

It shouldn't take too long I'll show you all the things that I own

My treasures you might say

It couldn't be more then ten dollars worth

They brighten up my day And this book of poems was given to me

By a girl I used to know

I guess I read it front to back

Fifty times or so It's all about the good life

And stayin' at ease with the world

It's funny how I love that book

And I never loved that girl Step inside this house girl

I'll sing for you a song

I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been

It shouldn't take too long I'll show you all the things that I own

My treasures you might say

It couldn't be more then ten dollars worth

That brighten up my day And you hold this piece of glass

Up to the light that's shining through the door

It's a prism glass I found it on the road

And can't you see that tiny rainbow? It's not really a prism I guess

It just kinda broke a funny way

I was on my way through Houston

And I was headed for L.A. And step inside this house girl

I'll sing for you a song

I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been

It shouldn't take too long I'll show you all the things that I own

My treasures you might say

It couldn't be more then ten dollars worth

That brighten up my day And this guitar was given me

By an old man Thomas Gray

It's not too much to look at

But I play it everyday It's been across this country

Four or five times I guess

Between me and old man Tom

It never got much rest Step inside this house girl

I'll sing for you a song

I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been

It shouldn't take too long I'll show you all the things that I own

My treasures you might say

It couldn't be more then ten dollars worth

That brighten up my day And that's just about all that I own

All I care to I guess

Except this pair of boots maybe

And that funny yellow vest And that leather jacket and that leather bag

And hat hangin' on the wall

Just so it's not too much to carry be

Could I see you again next fall? Step inside this house girl

I'll sing for you a song

I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been

It shouldn't take too long I'll show you all the things that I own

My treasures you might say

It couldn't be more then ten dollars worth

That brighten up my day
