My House
Kacey Musgraves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now 1, 2, 3, 4

Who needs a house up on a hill
When you can have one on four wheels
And take it anywhere the wind might blow
You don't ever have to mow the yard
Just hang a map and throw a dart
And pray to God the engine starts and go

Water and electric and a place to drain the septic
Any KOA is A-OK as long as I'm with you
So come on hitch your wagon
To the living room I'm draggin'
If I can't bring you to my house
I'll bring my house to you

Parking lots and county lines
Coutin' mile marker signs
Where the buffalo and antelope
Greetings from Niagara Falls
One more postcard for the wall
Off in our home sweet home away from home

Water and electric and a place to drain the septic
Any KOA is A-OK as long as I'm with you
So come on hitch your wagon
To the living room I'm draggin'
If I can't bring you to my house
I'll bring my house to you

In Washington, in Idaho
In Oregon and away we go
To Tennessee and Arkansas
No we won't stop 'til we've seen 'em all
'Til we've seen 'em all

So what else could you ask for?
You don't even need a passport
To see the whole world from our living room
So come on hitch your wagon
To the happiness I'm draggin'
If I can't bring you to my house
I'll bring my house to you
If I can't bring you to my house
I'll bring my house to you

It don't matter where we go
We'll never be alone
Anywhere besides you, is a place that I'll call home

It don't matter where we go
We'll never be alone
Anywhere besides you is a place that I'll call home

Line by Line Meaning

Who needs a house up on a hill
Why worry about a fancy home when you can have one that can travel with you?


When you can have one on four wheels
Why tie yourself down to one location when you can be free to move as you please?


And take it anywhere the wind might blow
You have the freedom to go wherever you want, not restricted by any building or property.


You don't ever have to mow the yard
No longer will you have to worry about tedious home maintenance tasks like yard work.


Just hang a map and throw a dart
You can decide where to go next on a whim, without any prior planning.


And pray to God the engine starts and go
As with anything that requires mechanical parts, there is a sense of uncertainty in its ability to perform at any given time.


Water and electric and a place to drain the septic
While you can travel wherever you please, you still need basic necessities like water, electricity, and sanitation facilities.


Any KOA is A-OK as long as I'm with you
The quality of the location is less important than the people you're with


So come on hitch your wagon
Join me and let's enjoy the journey together


To the living room I'm draggin'
I'm bringing my home with me wherever I go, and you're invited to share in that experience


If I can't bring you to my house
If I can't convince you to share this experience with me, I'll do whatever it takes to bring it to you


Parking lots and county lines
Some of the mundane things we pass on our travels, but still meaningful in their own way


Coutin' mile marker signs
Another reminder of the journey we're on, and how far we've come


Where the buffalo and antelope
Encounters with wildlife, a reminder of the beauty of nature


Greetings from Niagara Falls
A moment to stop and appreciate the natural wonder around us


One more postcard for the wall
Memories of our travels that we can hold onto forever


Off in our home sweet home away from home
Even though we're not in a traditional house, we still have a sense of comfort and familiarity within our vehicle


In Washington, in Idaho
Listing off places we've been, a sense of pride in our journey


No we won't stop 'til we've seen 'em all
We're committed to experiencing all that we can, to fully embrace this lifestyle


So what else could you ask for?
This lifestyle has given us everything we need and more - a sense of freedom, adventure, and companionship


You don't even need a passport
You don't have to travel abroad to experience the beauty of the world


To see the whole world from our living room
We have found a way to travel the world and still have a sense of home and familiarity


To the happiness I'm draggin'
I'm sharing my joy and sense of adventure with you, hoping to inspire you to join me on this journey


Anywhere besides you, is a place that I'll call home
At the end of the day, it's the people you're with that make a place feel like home, not the physical structure or location
