House A Home

We built this place on nothin' but hope

Just love and blood and skin and bone

Too young to know where life can lead

We had forever forever ago

Then babies started comin', the house came alive

Didn't get much sleep, the best of times

No way of seeing the troubles ahead

But sometimes not knowing lets you survive

Sticks and bricks and things we own

You and me and wood and stone

The love we made, it keeps us goin'

But it's the cracks in the walls that make our house a home

You don't know pain 'til your kid gets sick

The bills pile up and you're workin' two shifts

We stuck together, we never quit

We found enough love to live through it

Sticks and bricks and things we own

You and me and wood and stone

The love we made, it keeps us goin'

But it's the cracks in the walls that make our house a home

These walls have seen laughter, these walls have seen tears

This roof kept us dry through the storms, through the years

This porch held us steady when our hallowed ground gave way

Most folks would've given up, but you and me, we stayed

Oh yeah, we stayed

Yeah, we been in this house a good long time

We're never leavin' and I'll tell you why

Yeah, sticks and bricks and things we own

Said you and me, yeah, wood and stone

The love we made, it keeps us goin'

It's the cracks in the walls that make our house a home

Yeah, yeah
