House A Home lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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 housе a home

[Verse 2]
You don't know pain 'til your kid gets sick
The bills pilе up and you're workin' two shifts
We stuck together, we never quit
We found enough love to live through it

[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
Yeah, we been in this house a good long time
We're never leavin' and I'll tell you why

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
