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 diving
Into swimming holes
You and me dove off
Into the great unknown
We were barely getting by
Taking care of each other
Then I became a daddy
You became a mother
Was an uphill battle
Nearly every day
Looking back
I wouldn't have it
Any other way
I'm proud of the house
We built
It's stronger than sticks
On some steel
It's not a big place
Sitting up high on some hill
A 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
That same fire in my heart
I felt out in that field
I'm proud of the house
We built
It's stronger than sticks
On some steel
It's not a big place
Sitting up high on some hill
A lot of things
Will come and go
But love never will
Oh I'm proud
Oh I'm proud
Of the house we built
Oh look at us today
Oh we come
Such a long long way
I'm proud of the house
We built
It's stronger than sticks
On some steel
It's not a big place
Sitting up high on some hill
A lot of things come and go
But love never will
I'm proud of the house
We built
It's stronger than sticks
On some steel
It's not a big place
Sitting up high on some hill
A lot of things come and go
But love never will
Oh I'm proud
Yeah I'm proud
Of the house we built
