Built This House

(album: Rise And Shine - 2020)

I got a yard
It's full of wildflowers
Cause I'm a wild child
Yeah, I got my own style
Got a roof top view that don't stop
Got my name on the deed in the mailbox
I sleep easy in the bed I made
And I
Dream bigger than I did before
Took a while to feel this way
Brick by brick
Board by board

I built this house
From the foundation to the roof
Its all me
Baby, blood, sweat, and the truth
Solid ground and weatherproof
I had to
Tear the old one down
Was living in somebody else plans for me
Locked in and I couldn't find the key
Now it's wall-to-wall all me
I built this house

And no I couldn't
Ever be myself
Its like trying to make a home out of a hotel
So I checked out
Left it all behind
Had to start over but thats alright, cause

I built this house
From the foundation to the roof
Its all me
Baby, blood, sweat, and the truth
Solid ground and weatherproof
I had to
Tear the old one down
Was living in somebody else plans for me
Locked in and I couldn't find the key
Now it's wall-to-wall all me
I built this house
I built this house

Now I got a
Kitchen table big enough for all my friends
Peace of mind and wine in the fridge
You either take me as I am
Or you can't come in cause
I built this house, yeah

I built this house
From the foundation to the roof
Its all me
Baby, blood, sweat, and the truth
Solid ground and weatherproof
I had to
Tear the old one down
Was living in somebody else plans for me
Locked in and I couldn't find the key
Now it's wall-to-wall all me
I built this house
I built this house
I built this house
I built this house
