Where My House Stood Lyrics by Lainey Wilson

Tougher

2016

[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, Mama's cooking with butter
Breeze is blowing in through them red french doors
[Pre-Chorus]
And all these things were responsible for raising
And planting my feet on a firm foundation
[Chorus]
Say yes sir, no ma'am, thank you, please
When times get tough you better hit your knees
Don't you go calling that kettle black
And when you get ticked off
Water off a duck's back
Living by the good word
Built on more than wood
That's 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 ain't gonna pick themselves
Moonshine's in and out comes the guitar
Stomping our feet to the sound of that freight car
Even though the rooster crows early we ain't going to bed
[Pre-Chorus]
And all these things were responsible for raising
And planting my feet on a firm foundation
[Chorus]
Say yes sir, no ma'am, thank you, please
When times get tough you better hit your knees
Don't you go calling that kettle black
And when you get ticked off
Water off a duck's back
Living by the good word
Built on more than wood
That's where my house stood
[Chorus]
Say yes sir, no ma'am, thank you, please
When times get tough you better hit your knees
Don't you go calling that kettle black
And when you get ticked off
Water off a duck's back
Living by the good word
Built on more than wood
That's where my house stood
[Outro]
That's where my house stood
