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
Lot of things´ll 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´ll come and go but love never will
I´m proud, oh, 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
Not a big place sittin´ up high on some hill
Lot of things´ll 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 sittin´ up high on some hill
Lot of things´ll 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
