I dropped to my knees in that field on your daddy's farmnAsked you to marry me, all I had to give was my heartnWhile other kids went diving into swimming holesnYou and me dove off into the great unknownnWe were barely gettin' by, takin' care of each othernThen I became a daddy; you became a mothernWas an uphill battle nearly every daynLookin' back I wouldn't have it any other waynn[Chorus]nI'm proud of the house we builtnIt's stronger than sticks, stones, and steelnIt's not a big place sittin' up high on some hillnA lot of things will come and go but love never willnOh, I'm proudnI'm proud of the house we builtnnStill workin' our way through the land of milk and honeynAt the end of the day there's always more bills than moneynI close my eyes at night and I still feelnThe same fire in my heart I felt out in that fieldnnI'm proud of the house we builtnIt's stronger than sticks, stones, and steelnIt's not a big place sittin' up high on some hillnA lot of things will come and go but love never willnI'm proudnOh I'm proud of the house we builtnnOh, look at us todaynWhoa, we've come such a long long waynnI'm proud of the house we builtnIt's stronger than sticks, stones, and steelnNot a big place sittin' up high on some hillnA lot of things will come and go but love never willnnI'm proud of the house we builtnIt's stronger than sticks, stones, and steelnIt's not a big place sittin' up high on some hillnA lot of things will come and go but love never willnI'm proudnOh I'm proud of this house nI'm proud, yeah I'm proud of the house nI'm proudnYeah I'm proud of the house we built
