Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

There isn't much that I feel I need
A solid soul and the blood I bleed
But with a little girl, and by my spouse
I only want a proper house
There isn't much (isn't much)
That I feel I need (that I feel I need)
A solid soul (a solid soul)
And the blood I bleed (and the blood I bleed)
But with a little girl, and by my spouse (and by my spouse)
I only want (I only want)
A proper house (a proper house)
There isn't much (isn't much)
That I feel I need (that I feel I need)
A solid soul (a solid soul)
And the blood I bleed (and the blood I bleed)
But with a little girl, and by my spouse (and by my spouse)
I only want (I only want)
A proper house (a proper house)
There isn't much that I feel I need
A solid soul and the blood I bleed
But with a little girl, and by my spouse
I only want a proper house
I don't care for fancy things
Or to take part in the freshest wave
But to provide for mine who ask
I will, with heart, on my father's grave
I don't care for fancy things
Or to take part in the freshest wave
But to provide for mine who ask
I will, with heart, on my father's grave
On my father's grave (on your father's grave)
On my father's grave (on your father's grave)
On my father's grave (on your father's grave)
On my father's grave (on your father's grave)
On my father's grave (on your father's grave)
On my father's grave (on your father's grave)
On my father's grave (on your father's grave)
I don't mean to seem like I
Care about material things
Like a social status
I just want
Four walls and adobe slats
For my girls
I don't mean to seem like I
Care about material things
Like a social status
I just want
Four walls and adobe slats
For my girls
There isn't much
That I feel I need
But a solid soul
And the blood I bleed
But with a little girl
And by my spouse
I only want, a proper house
I don't care, for fancy things
Or to take part in the freshest wave
But to provide for mine who ask
I will, with heart, on my father's grave
On my father's grave (on your father's grave)
On my father's grave (on your father's grave)
On my father's grave (on your father's grave)
On my father's grave (on your father's grave)
On my father's grave (on your father's grave)
On my father's grave (on your father's grave)
On my father's grave (on your father's grave)
On my father's grave (on your father's grave)
I don't mean
To seem like I care about material things
Like a social status
I just want
Four walls and adobe slats
For my girls
I don't mean
To seem like I care about material things
Like a social status
I just want
Four walls and adobe slats
For my girls
I don't mean
To seem like I care about material things
Like a social status
I just want
Four walls and adobe slats
For my girls
I don't mean
To seem like I care about material things
Like a social status
I just want
Four walls and adobe slats
For my girls
