I dropped to my knees in that field on your daddy's farmAsked you to marry me, all I had to give was my heartWhile other kids were diving into swimming holesYou and me dove off into the great unknownWe were barely getting by taking care of each otherThen I became a daddy, you became a motherWasn't uphill battle nearly every dayLooking back I wouldn't have it any other wayI'm proud of the house we builtIt's stronger than sticks on some steelIt's not a big place sitting up high on some hillA lot of things will come to passSome go but love never willOh, I'm proud, I'm proud of the house we builtStill working our way through the land of milk and honeyAt the end of the day there's always more bills than moneyI close my eyes at night and I still feelThe same fire in my heartI've failed out and outI'm proud of the house we builtI'm proud of the house we builtIt's stronger than sticks on some steelIt's not a big place sitting up high on some hillA lot of things will come and goBut love never willOh, I'm proud, oh, I'm proud of the house we builtBut love never will come longIt won't make me pay Each day will be worth so muchOh, look at us todayOh, look at us todayOh, we've come such a long, long wayI'm proud of the house we builtIt's stronger than sticks on some steelWe'll be right back.The house we built.
