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 were divin' in the swimming holes You and me dove off into the great unknown We were barely getting by taking care of each other And I became a daddy 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 stilt 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 always more bills than money I close my eyes at night. and I still feel The same fire in my heart out in that field I'm proud of the house we built It's stronger than sticks, stones, and stilt 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 I'm proud of the house we built It's stronger than sticks, stones, and stilt 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 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 stilt 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 I'm proud of the house we built It's stronger than sticks, stones, and stilt 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 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 come and go But love never will I'm proud, Yeah, I'm proud of the house we built
