House With No Doors

George Strait

Transposer:

Standard Tuning - Capo 1 I was there in my trailer down at the job-site The day that this stranger walked in His face looked so sad and he carried a set of blueprints And as I unrolled them the first thing I noticed Were there were no doors in the plans He said if you build this for me then when she comes back She’ll never be able to leave me again Chorus: I said if I did and she ever came back Friend tell me how would she get in  E It would just be a prison that I locked you in If you couldn’t leave you’d never know If there was someone who loved you The way that she didn’t before There’s two things that I know for sure Is that you can’t make a woman feel something she don’t And you can’t build a house with no doors Key shift: (Everything is raised up two steps)  = = = For a while he was quite I could tell he was thinking I thought I just ruined his day I just couldn’t bare to see this mans last hope slip away So I thought real fast and I started talking said Buddy we’ve tried this before And if there ain’t one she’ll make on And either way she’ll run And leave you house with hole for door Chorus: with these lines after: No you can’t make a woman feel something she don’t And you can’t build a house with no doors

Dans cette chanson, un homme se retrouve confronté à un étranger qui lui demande de construire une maison sans portes, dans l'espoir de retenir une femme qui l'a quitté. Ce dernier pense qu’en l'absence de portes, elle ne pourra jamais partir à nouveau. Cependant, le narrateur lui fait comprendre que même sans portes, on ne peut pas forcer quelqu'un à ressentir quelque chose qu’elle ne ressent pas. La clé de leur échange réside dans l'idée que l'amour ne peut être contraint, et qu'une maison sans issue n'est pas vraiment un foyer, mais plutôt une prison, où l'on risque de vivre sans jamais connaître l'amour véritable. Le contexte de cette histoire semble évoquer des luttes émotionnelles et des désirs désespérés de garder l'autre, tout en soulignant la tragédie de vouloir contrôler l'amour. C’est un rappel poignant que l’amour authentique ne peut être créé ou imposé par la force.
