A man from the city came they're puttin' up houses
Like six or seven where there used to be one
Made me an offer that I had to consider
But I should've just turned and run
Cause we've got one in the 5th grade and another right behind her
They think the universe is just North Carolina
All I can think about's the doorway in the kitchen
It's covered up with notches names and inches
Cause there's a million ways that you can build a house
And as many you can use to tear it down
You can fill it up with treasure that you find along the road
But love's the only way to build a home
The lady from the bank said I'd be foolish not to sell
Most of my neighbors had appointments there as well
All I can think about is Judas kissin' Jesus
And giving back the thirty silver pieces
Cause there's a million ways that you can build a house
And as many you can use to tear it down
You can fill it up with treasure that you find along the road
But love's the only way to build a home
Love's the only way to build a home
I wrote a letter to my kids hopin' someday they'd forgive what Daddy did
When it was finished I just threw it in the trash
Cause the answer I was lookin' for was right there in my hand
There's a million ways that you can build a house
And as many you can use to tear it down
You can fill it up with treasure that you find along the road
But love's the only way to build a home
Love's the only way to build a home yeah
