I'm pretty sure it's "These simple lines and you painted in words."
This is because lines has a double meaning. The song is "Farmer Chords" which overall gives me an impression of a farm, like a painting. Often times a farm is laid out with lines of crops. Yet this is a metaphor for the ideal home that the singer's lover is away from. It also goes along with the song, the message, that the singer has given his lover so they'll remember each other while she is away. He has given her "lines" and "words" to think about when she's lonely.
There is another way to interpret this song, too. The lover has gone away, and has been away for a long time, but the singer can't accept it, so he writes her a song to remember him by. He still believes that she is truly home when she is with him, so he invites her back "home" whenever she sings the song.
