about

Little Limestone House is a bubbly and upbeat tune that's sung from the perspective of a house that backs up to Barton Creek. Made of traditional Texas limestone, the house has seen it all – wild parties, raging thunderstorms, and quiet family moments – and it's proud of the memories it holds. Various inhabitants have come and gone over the years, but the house remains a constant in Austin's rich history. This charming song is sure to put a smile on your face.

lyrics

I'm just a little limestone house that backs right up to Barton Creek
Will you be my family?
Will you stay more than a week?
I need a man to mow my grass and fix my every leak
I'm just a little limestone house that backs right up to Barton Creek

You can plant a garden
You could grow a shady tree
Have a couple kids and they will grow up happily
Save all of your money, take a mortgage out for me
For this little limestone house that backs right up to Barton Creek

Skies are getting cloudy
And the wind is like a shriek
Lightning strikes upon the hill
I'm the shelter that you seek
Crack a beer and take a seat by the window for a peek
In this little limestone house that backs right up to Barton Creek

Last I saw my owner was in 1983
Wrecking ball is on its way
So please come rescue me
I hope and pray with each new day for a loving family
In this little limestone house that backs right up to Barton Creek...
