Lyrics

Take your hammer and nails and put em back in the shed
I like that color but we're not there yet.
Don't even think about picking out rugs for the floors
We still gotta frame up the windows and doors
What's that shovel doing in your hand
Let's take a walk, let's make a plan
I got a good feeling about this place
We can take our time cuz it isn't a race
Don't want to tear this down
Don't want to start again
I want to raise the rafters right
So they never bend.
Don't want to rearrange.
Don't want to redefine.
Oh, I want to build it right the first time.
When I met you at Verrudi's on a Honky Tonk Tuesday
The thought of you followed me home on the freeway
I knew it was a real thing right from the start.
I wanted to let you run away with my heart.
But I been around long enough to know
the strongest trees are slow to grow
and that's the lumber I intend to use
On this little house for me and you
Don't want to tear this down
Don't want to start again
I want to raise the rafters right
So they never bend.
Don't want to rearrange.
Don't want to redefine.
Oh, I want to build it right the first time.
Don't want to cut no corners
Don't want to use scrap wood
Don't want to drive on home to find a
pile of rubble where our house once stood
Don't want to rearrange.
Don't want to redefine.
Oh, I want to build it right the first time.
