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 went diving into swimming 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.
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 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.
Oh, I’m proud.
I’m proud of the house we built.
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.
It’s not a big place sittin' 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.
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.
Oh, I’m proud.
I’m proud of the house we built
