He bought pre-cut wood from the local mill He got everything else in Lutherville Every morning we were up at dawn Helping our Dad build a brand new barn We sunk thirty-foot posts deep in the land Poured a gravel floor we leveled by hand Two coats of brown paint and we were done Our backs were sore and burned by the sun But we built something we knew would last Sometimes you choose between strong and fast Build it right and sleep well at night Take some time and get it right Cause if you build it right, yeah Build it right, yeah Build it right, yeah It will last for life In that barn I saw the years go b Watching him weld and seeing sparks fly And I remember when Shelly ran away Because I snuck a kiss on her birthday Me and the barn cat sat wondering why Looking out a hay loft door at the sky Dad just smiled and said build it right son Slow and steady will get the job done I used to think he didn't understand But I guess he was once a young man Build it right and sleep well at night Take some time and get it right Cause if you build it right, yeah Build it right, yeah Build it right, yeah It will last for life After he passed I moved back to the farm Spent nights working in the old brown barn I fixed the roof and poured a concrete floor There we had a dance for the veterans of war That was the night I met my sweet Eileen She was the prettiest girl you ever seen We two-stepped until the band was cooked Then I drove her home and gave her the look But I said to myself what Dad would recite And walked her to the door and said good night Build it right and sleep well at night Take some time and get it right Cause if you build it right, yeah Build it right, yeah Build it right, yeah It will last for life So I guess my old man was right Thanks to him I got a good barn And a mighty fine wife And I know they'll both last for life
