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 where diving in the swimming holes

You and me drove off into the great unknown

We were barely getting by taking care of each other

And I became a daddy and you became a mother

It 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 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 aways 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 sitting 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

Oh, look at us together

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 sitting 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 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 this house

I'm proud

Yeah, I'm proud of the house

I'm proud

Yeah, I'm proud of the house we built
