Lyrics
We moved in about ten years ago
Two room shack, leakin' roof hangin' low
It took so long to make this house a home
Savin' every penning just to pay off the loan
Then something happened if these walls could talk
Would tell us the story of the day that he walked
And a house that took so many years to build
Came down in about one night
Our first son, was born right here
He just looked up at us and never shed a tear
We all slept together in one big double bed
Woke up many nights with his fee on our heads
Then we built him a bedroom and kept adding on
Ten rooms later and four young sons
And a house that took so many years to build
Came down in about one night
I still hear his angry voice echoing in this hall
Then he took our wedding picture
Threw it against the wall
And a house that took so many years to build
Came down in about one night
And a house that took so many years to build
Came down in about one night
