Stealin Horses - This House lyrics

This House Lyrics by Kiya Heartwood Music by Kevin Dukes and Kiya Heartwood This house is built of oak and stone Here I make my stand If you want to know me You'll have to take me as I am Standing in these new-plowed fields Mud up to my knees Everybody's got their words to say But I do just as I please I'm the many architects And I bend to their design Hopeful as a newlywed Recall the place and time This house is built of oak and stone Here I make my stand If you want to know me You'll have to take me as I am Life's a war of small talk And I hate to pretend But how can I weave between Such voluntary friends My clothes, my???, my cigarettes Gasoline and beer Slipping through the hands of strangers I find my way back here This house is built of oak and stone Here I make my stand If you want to know me You'll have to take me as I am There's so much here to realize Cold water to my face I bow to tie my sneakers And burn the book of saints When we were kids we used to talk Of staying tough and true Through the years the words held up I trust the best of me to you This house is built of oak and stone Here I make my stand If you want to know me You'll have to take me as I am (repeat 2x) This house is built of oak And stone.
