Brooks & Dunn - Proud of the House We Built lyrics

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 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 sitting 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 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, 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

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 sitting 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 sitting 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
