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 stones and steel
It's not a big place
Sittin' up high on some hill
A lot of things'll 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 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'll 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
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 sittin' 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
