Built To Last Lyrics

I ain't no Conway pretty, I don't croon like Randy Travis

Ain't no roses in my pocket, no moonlight-filled palace

But girl, you're the reason this old house feels alive

With your hand in mine, we're raising a love that'll survive

Kids running through the kitchen, muddy boots on the floor

We laugh at the chaos and love them even more

This ain't no fairytale ballad, no Reba Harmony

It's the story of us, plain and simple as can be

It's not a love song from the radio, not a classic line from a country show

It's the way you smile when the workday's done, the way you shine brighter than the morning sun

It's the life we've built, the seeds we've sown, turning four walls into a home

It's messy and it's real, but darling, can't you see

You're every love song ever written to me

We've had our hard times, nights we couldn't sleep

But love's a little stronger when the roots grow deep

The fields may not be golden, the bills still come due

But together we've weathered every storm we've been through

Little hands in ours, dreams held tight, we tuck them in with prayers every single night

This life ain't glamorous, no spotlight glow, but it's a masterpiece only we'll ever know

It's not a love song from the radio, not a classic line from a country show

It's the way you smile when the workday's done, the way you shine brighter than the morning sun

It's the life we've built, the seeds we've sown, turning four walls into a home

It's messy and it's real, but darling, can't you see

You're every love song ever written to me

No fiddle, no steel guitar, no crowd to sing along

But every laugh and every tear's a verse in our song

And when the years have passed us and the kids are grown

I'll still be your cowboy, you'll still be my home

So here's to our story, no Reba, no Twitty, just a plain old cowboy loving his pretty

It's not the kind of love that the world likes to see

But it's every love song ever written to me
