The House You Live In Lyrics

Cover art for The House You Live In lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

I read that this was Gordon's mother's favorite song of his. Thus I hear guiding advice that she gave him while he was growing up. Or what any parent would give their child. I particularly like when "you're down in the dumps, decide what it is that you need, is it money or love, is it learnin' to live, Or is it the mouth you must feed". Everyone must discover their motivation for keeping on living.
