My House
Kacey Musgraves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Kacey Musgraves's song "My House" is an ode to the beauty of a mobile home and the freedom that comes along with living in one. She starts off the song by questioning the need for a house up on a hill when you can have a home on four wheels that can be taken anywhere the wind blows. Musgraves lists the benefits of living in a mobile home - you don't have to mow the yard, just hang a map and throw a dart to choose the next destination. The song is an invitation to join her on her journey and explore the beauty of America. From the parking lots to the county lines, Musgraves sings about the thrill of experiencing new landscapes and cultures.
The lyrics of the song also show Musgraves's love for her partner, as she promises to bring her house to them if she can't bring them to her home. The song shows that love and companionship are the most important things, and as long as she is with her partner, she will feel at home anywhere in the world. The song has a catchy melody and optimistic lyrics that make it a fun and uplifting song to listen to.
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
