House of love

Got a coffee-can full of quarters

And a notebook full of plans

Circle every cheap old acre

Like I’m holding it in my hands

See a wraparound porch in the sunset

Fresh-cut fields out back

You in my shirt on a Sunday

Bare feet on painted planks

My biggest dream’s a little piece of land

Wraparound porch and your hand in my hand

Old bench-seat truck, you slid over close

Dust on the driveway, radio low

Little kids laughing in a yard we made

Mailbox leaning with our last name

Yeah, that’s enough

Give me that house of love

Picture that gravel driveway

First time we’re rolling through

You in my arms at the front door

Saying, “Baby, this is you”

Got a swing hanging from an oak tree

Tiny boots by the door

Crayons on the kitchen table

Hearts all over the floor

My biggest dream’s a little piece of land

Wraparound porch and your hand in my hand

Old bench-seat truck, you slid over close

Dust on the driveway, radio low

Little kids laughing in a yard we made

Mailbox leaning with our last name

Yeah, that’s enough

Give me that house of love

We don’t need some high-rise view

Just a sky full of honest blue

I’ll spend my whole life building

That forever place with you (oh yeah)

My biggest dream’s a little piece of land

Wraparound porch and your hand in my hand

Old bench-seat truck, you slid over close

Driving down the driveway to our future home

Little kids shouting “Daddy, you’re late!”

Running to the gate I made

Yeah, that’s enough

Give me that house of love

Yeah, that’s my dream

That house of love
