[Verse 1] Concrete steps, mockingbird feeder Wrap around porch, rusted hot water heater Washing machine thumping on that hardwood floor Oak tree tire swing, rain in the gutter Screen door slamming, Mamas cooking with butter Breeze is blowing in through them red french doors [PreChorus] And all these things were responsible for raising And planting my feet on a firm foundation [Chorus] Say yes sir, no maam, thank you, please When times get tough you better hit your knees Dont you go calling that kettle black And when you get ticked off Water off a ducks back Living by the good word Built on more than wood Thats where my house stood [Verse 2] Tiptoeing down in that muddy creek water Tractor cranks up and I hear Daddy holler You know them peas aint gonna pick themselves Moonshines in and out comes the guitar Stomping our feet to the sound of that freight car Even though the rooster crows early we aint going to bed [PreChorus] And all these things were responsible for raising And planting my feet on a firm foundation [Chorus] Say yes sir, no maam, thank you, please When times get tough you better hit your knees Dont you go calling that kettle black And when you get ticked off Water off a ducks back Living by the good word Built on more than wood Thats where my house stood [Chorus] Say yes sir, no maam, thank you, please When times get tough you better hit your knees Dont you go calling that kettle black And when you get ticked off Water off a ducks back Living by the good word Built on more than wood Thats where my house stood [Outro] Thats where my house stood
