"Build A Home" lyrics

"Build A Home"

Follow this ol' river down to where the poppies grow
And drink that cool water 'til I get my fill
Take me out past the mud and rust and all the broken bones
And watch the sun fall down behind the hills

I'm in love with a woman
And she makes me want to sing a song
I'm in love with a woman
And she makes me want to build a home
I'm in love with a woman
And she makes me want to sing a song
I'm in love with a woman
And she makes me want to build a home

Work hard all day stone by stone for the night to come
There's no sleep like that of tired bones
And rub my hands, and whisper to me about tomorrow
About the kids, and the house, and how we don't have much but it's enough

I'm in love with a woman
And she makes me want to sing a song
I'm in love with a woman
And she makes me want to build a home
I'm in love with a woman
And she makes me want to sing a song
I'm in love with a woman
And she makes me want to build a home

Ah there's something 'bout you naked in the morning
Quiet all these voices in my head
Yeah there's something 'bout you naked in the morning
Shut my mouth and put me back to bed

And there's something 'bout you naked in the noon time
Doing a little jig around the house
Yeah there's something 'bout you naked in the noon time
"What d'ya say babe, we go play a little lost and found?"

And there's something 'bout you naked in the night time
Look so good you know it should be a sin
Ah, there's something 'bout you naked in the night time
Burn me up, and burn me down again
Yeah, there's something 'bout you naked in the night time
I want you to burn me up, and burn me down again
