Home Made Of Stone

I can count the walls of our singlewide trailer
on the fingers of my two hands,
and It's hard to sleep on the nights
the north wind blows,
but how earth could I ever complain
As long as I'm your man,

you're the woman I adore,
and I want to give you more

[Chorus]
I want to build you darling
a home made of stone,
on a little piece of Texas
we can call our own
To stand the test of time
you need a strong foundation,
like are love ain't nothing gonna shake it
I want to build you darling
a home made of stone

I can see it all now high on a hill
up where the white tail run,
from are front porch swing
we can count Our lucky stars,
and the kids are gonna love
fishing the creek
in the heat of the midday sun,

it will all Be ours someday
I'm gonna find a way,


[Chorus]

bridge
Tell the girls to say their prayers
with a hand from the man upstairs woooo

[Chorus]

I can count the walls of our singlewide trailer,
on the fingers of my two hands

I've heard this, of course, LOVE it, of course. Today, I'm especially enjoying the walk downs and melody in the verses. The verses just sound so intimate, honest, and sweet. Thanks for sharing this one (with the world). Terri

used to get your newsletters and remember this song from back then Think I must have voted for it before so it's great to hear it again. Needs a re release - why do songs have such a short life then have to make way for the next new one!!
