Lyrics

[Intro]

There isn't much that I feel I need

A solid soul and the blood I bleed

But with a little girl, and by my spouse

I only want a proper house

There isn't much that I feel I need

A solid soul and the blood I bleed

But with a little girl, and by my spouse

I only want a proper house

[Verse 1]

There isn't much that I feel I need

A solid soul and the blood I bleed

But with a little girl, and by my spouse

I only want a proper house

There isn't much that I feel I need

A solid soul and the blood I bleed

But with a little girl, and by my spouse

I only want a proper house

[PreChorus]

I don't care for fancy things

Or to take part in the freshest wave

But to provide for mine who ask

I will, with heart, on my father's grave

I don't care for fancy things

Or to take part in the freshest wave

But to provide for mine who ask

I will, with heart, on my father's grave

On my father's grave

On my father's grave

On my father's grave

On my father's grave

On my father's grave

On my father's grave

On my father's grave

On my father's grave

[Chorus]

I don't mean

To seem like I care about material things

Like a social status

I just want

Four walls and adobe slats

For my girls

I don't mean

To seem like I care about material things

Like a social status

I just want

Four walls and adobe slats

For my girls

[Verse 2]

There isn't much that I feel I need

A solid soul and the blood I bleed

But with a little girl, and by my spouse

I only want a proper house

[PreChorus]

I don't care for fancy things

Or to take part in the freshest wave

But to provide for mine who ask

I will, with heart, on my father's grave

On my father's grave

On my father's grave

On my father's grave

On my father's grave

On my father's grave

On my father's grave

On my father's grave

On my father's grave

[Chorus]

I don't mean

To seem like I care about material things

Like a social status

I just want

Four walls and adobe slats

For my girls

I don't mean

To seem like I care about material things

Like a social status

I just want

Four walls and adobe slats

For my girls

I don't mean

To seem like I care about material things

Like a social status

I just want

Four walls and adobe slats

For my girls

I don't mean

To seem like I care about material things

Like a social status

I just want

Four walls and adobe slats

For my girls
