Trading Spaces
Embracing Change: Shannon McNeal's Ode to Moving and Growing
Lyrics
I grew up in different towns
I experienced growing up in various towns.
My parents liked to move around
My parents had a tendency to relocate frequently.
I grew up in different homes
I lived in different houses during my upbringing.
Once they picked a city
After choosing a city, my parents continued to move.
They still liked to roam
Even after settling in a city, they enjoyed exploring.
Can't complain, I liked the change
I don't mind; I enjoyed the constant change.
I learned you never have to stay
I learned the value of not being tied down.
Now that's ingrained
Now, this mindset is deeply embedded in me.
New house, new home, new side of town
Moving to a new house, new home, and a new part of town.
To learn to love to lay my head down
I learned to appreciate finding a place to rest.
Painting walls and moving places
Engaging in activities like painting walls and relocating.
Summer nights spent trading spaces
Spending summer nights exchanging living spaces.
All the moving sat well with me
All the moving suited me well.
If you were wondering
If you were curious,
I liked the change of pace it'd bring
I enjoyed the change in routine it brought.
Got two brothers and when we'd move
I have two brothers, and during moves,
We'd always battle it out over bedrooms
We would compete for the best bedrooms.
When the spring would roll around
As spring arrived,
We'd build firepits and gardens
We would create firepits and gardens.
And we'd paint the whole house
And we would repaint the entire house.
New house, new home, new side of town
Again, moving to a new place.
To learn to love to lay my head down
Learning to appreciate the comfort of a home.
Painting walls and moving places
Engaging in activities like painting walls and relocating.
Summer nights spent trading spaces
More summer nights spent exchanging living spaces.
New house, new home, new side of town
Once again, moving to a new place.
To learn to love to lay my head down
Continuing to appreciate the comfort of a home.
Painting walls and moving places
Engaging in activities like painting walls and relocating.
Summer nights spent trading spaces
More summer nights spent exchanging living spaces.
