Building Paradise ft. Morgan Conners Lyrics

Thought it might be nice to settle down

Somewhere with stars in the sky

Far from the neon lights uptown

With a well to draw from when I get dry

The water-heater broke

And it smells like smoke

Whenever the AC turns on

This week I replaced it

Now there's a leak in the basement

Who the hell did I do wrong?

Being rich might be nice

But for me it ain't the dream

Spare me all the financial advice

I'm Building Paradise

Piece by piece

For some it may be hard to see

The statue that lies 'neath the stone

It's the promise I see in you

That will make this house a home

The pantry door

Couldn't take it anymore

And he jumped right off the track

I won't lie, it gets tough sometimes

But I'll tell ya, I ain't lookin' back

Being rich might be nice

But for me it ain't the dream

Spare me all the financial advice

I'm Building Paradise

Piece by piece

Push my desk against the window

So I may gaze across the plain

Take a walk through the woodland

Greet each plant by its name

Finally found

The solid ground

My feet were missing all along

The perfect site

On a moonlit night

To sit and write these silly songs

Being rich might be nice

But for me it ain't the dream

Spare me all the financial advice

I'm Building Paradise

Piece by piece
