[Intro]
I just wrote this one so, uh
I hope I can read it from over here
Good luck
You know, round this country there's been awful lot of hard times and
A lot of farmers and a lot of people that uh, working people, have lost a lot
Here’s a song for those people
[Verse 1]
Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking
The kids are all asleep, but I'm walking the floor
Darlin', I can see that you’re dreaming
And I don't wanna wake you up when I close the door
[Chorus]
This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means
There's a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna comе and take it all away
[Post-Chorus]
Take it all away (Take it all away)
Takе it all away (Take it all away)
Take it all away (Take it all away)
[Verse 2]
Lately, I've been thinking 'bout daddy
And how he always seemed made things work
When the chips were down
And I know I've got something inside me
There’s always a light to guide me
To what can’t be found
[Chorus]
This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means
There’s a swing outside they play on every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away
[Post-Chorus]
Take it all away (Take it all away)
Take it all away (Take it all away)
Take it all away (Take it all away)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I remember how we came here together
Looking at an empty lot and holding hands
Later, we came back in the moonlight
And made love where the kitchen is
Then we made our plans
[Chorus]
This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means
There's a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank’s
Gonna come and take it all away
[Post-Chorus]
Take it all away (Take it all away)
Take it all away (Take it all away)
Take it all away (Take it all away)
[Outro]
This old house of ours is built on dreams
