Proud Of The House We Built

I dropped to my knees
In that field on your Daddy's farm
Asked you to marry me
All I had to give was my heart
While other kids were divin' in the swimming holes
You and me dove off into the great unknown

We were barely getting by taking care of each other
And I became a daddy
You became a mother
It was an uphill battle nearly every day
Looking back I wouldn't have it any other way

CHORUS

I'm proud of the house we built
It's stronger than sticks, stones, and stilt
It's not a big place sitting up high on some hill
Lot of things will come and go
But love never will
Oh, I'm proud,
I'm proud of the house we built

Still working our way through the land of milk and honey
At the end of the day there's always more bills than money


I close my eyes at night. and I still feel
The same fire in my heart out in that field

CHORUS

I'm proud of the house we built
It's stronger than sticks, stones, and stilt
It's not a big place sitting up high on some hill
Lot of things will come and go
But love never will
I'm proud,
Oh, I'm proud of the house we built

Oh, look at us together
Oh, we've come such a long, long way

CHORUS (x2)

I'm proud of the house we built
It's stronger than sticks, stones, and steel
It's not a big place sitting up high on some hill
Lot of things come and go
But love never will
I'm proud,
Yeah, I'm proud of the house we built
