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 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 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 will come and go but love never will I'm proud Oh I'm proud of the house we built Oh, look at us today Whoa, 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 A lot of things will 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 A lot of things will 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
