Old Houses Full Lyrics
[00:09.67] He picked her up and carried her through the front door
[00:15.25] They didn't have enough to have a honeymoon
[00:21.06] Nine months later brought me home, then when sister came along
[00:26.26] They turned the old garage into my new bedroom
[00:31.65] Looking back, I'm living proof, all the love under that roof
[00:37.07] Had a foundation of faith, family, and friends
[00:42.72] All the hard times that we felt, mama's prayers and daddy's belt
[00:48.29] The wood floors creaking kept us from sneaking out again
[00:53.53] And it takes years and years to grow them big old trees
[00:58.85] It takes a lifetime to make those memories
[01:02.94] And that's why you can't build old houses
[01:09.78] I grew up quick, said adios to Amarillo
[01:15.43] I had to branch out, but my roots were deep and strong
[01:20.92] Loaded up that Chevrolet, left them there in that driveway
[01:26.34] As I drove off to change the world with a country song
[01:31.80] Looking back, I'm living proof, all the love under that roof
[01:37.18] Had a foundation of faith, family, and friends
[01:42.77] All the hard times that we felt, mama's prayers and daddy's belt
[01:48.22] The wood floors creaking kept us from sneaking out again
[01:53.63] And it takes years and years to grow them big old trees
[01:58.72] It takes a lifetime to make those memories
[02:02.81] And that's why you can't build old houses
[02:06.99] How quickly dark hair turns to grey
[02:09.81] Grandmas and grandpas go away
[02:12.83] But the love they built gets passed on down the line
[02:23.87] Looking back, I'm living proof, all the love under that roof
[02:28.85] Had a foundation of faith, family, and friends
[02:34.62] All the hard times that we felt, mama's prayers and daddy's belt
[02:40.02] The wood floors creaking kept us from sneaking out again
[02:45.38] It takes years and years to grow them big old trees
[02:50.69] We planted that live oak from an acorn seed
[02:56.20] It takes a lifetime to make those memories
[03:00.13] And that's why you can't build old houses
[03:06.46] Nah, you can't build old houses
[03:10.76]
