I DROPPED TO MY KNEES
IN THAT FEILD
ON YOUR DADDY'S FARM
ASKED YOU
TO MARRY ME
ALL I HAD TO GIVE
WAS MY HEART
WHILE OTHER KIDS
WERE DIVIN'
INTO SWIMMIN' HOLES
YOU AND ME DOVE OFF
INTO THE GREAT
UNKNOWN
WE WERE BARELY
GETTIN' BY
TAKIN' CARE OF
EACH OTHER
THEN I BECAME A DADDY
YOU BECAME A MOTHER
WAS AN UPHILL BATTLE
NEARLY EVERY DAY
LOOKIN' BACK
I WOULDN'T HAVE IT
ANY OTHER WAY
I'M PROUD OF
THE HOUSE WE BUILT
IT'S STRONGER THAN
STICKS STONES
AND STEEL
IT'S NOT A BIG PLACE
SITTIN' 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
4 BAR
BREAK
STILL WORKIN' 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
I FELT OUT IN THAT FIELD
I'M PROUD OF
THE HOUSE WE BUILT
IT'S STRONGER THAN
STICKS STONES
AND STEEL
IT'S NOT A BIG PLACE
SITTIN' UP HIGH
ON SOME HILL
A LOT OF THINGS
WILL COME AND GO
BUT LOVE NEVER WILL
I'M PROUD
OH I'M PROUD OF
THE HOUSE WE BUILT
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
OH LOOK AT US TODAY
OH WE'VE COME
SUCH A LONG LONG WAY
I'M PROUD OF
THE HOUSE WE BUILT
IT'S STRONGER THAN
STICKS STONES
AND STEEL
NOT A BIG PLACE
SITTIN' UP HIGH
ON SOME HILL
LOT OF THINGS
WILL COME AND GO
BUT LOVE NEVER WILL
I'M PROUD OF
THE HOUSE WE BUILT
IT'S STRONGER THAN
STICKS STONES
AND STEEL
IT'S NOT A BIG PLACE
SITTIN' UP HIGH
ON SOME HILL
LOT OF THINGS
WILL COME AND GO
BUT LOVE NEVER WILL
I'M PROUD
YEAH I'M PROUD OF
THE HOUSE WE BUILT
