The next time you talk
Talk to me
Got eyes for you
Got ears for you
And Im watching
And Im listening
What do I see?
What do I hear?
The next time you walk
Walk my way
The next time you talk
Speak to me, take me
Another day on the road
Carrying my load
Heavy, now
So so much weight
Did I wait too long?
Keep me strong
Let me build my house
For you to come in
Take away this thing
Let me build my house
Im ready for the house
Im ready for the house
Do you hear?
Yeah, you hear
Youre one big ear
Youre one big eye
You see me, small as I am
You hear me, through all this noise
You know, Im ready for the house
Let me build my house
I got a dream
Of granite rocks
And iron bars
Let me build my house of rock and steel
Let me build my house
Let me build my house
I got this dream
Of iron and steel
Of rock and granite
Black flecks in the gray stone its granite
Its heavy rock
Its heavy rock
Its cast iron
Cast iron and heavy rock
Dont got no glass
Dont got no wood
Dont got no synthetic fiber
No foil products
Dont got no glass
Dont got no plastic
Dont got no wood
Dont got to brick
Dont got no shingles
Dont got no aluminum siding
I want my house
I want my granite iron house
Dont you know, Im ready for the house
I got this dream of my house
The one you gave me in my mind
Im ready for the house
Let me build my house
I got this dream
Oh, you know that enough to have my dream
My dream come true
You could do it
There is no doubt
There is no doubt
And another thing, Im ready for the house
Im ready for the house
Just put me there
Youll see Im ready for the house
You make me come
You make me go
Here and there and everywhere
And I dont complain
Even though it hurts
You know I tell you all about it but
I dont mind livin in my dream
I dont mind livin in my dream
But let me tell you, you know, I know you know
Im ready for the house
You gave me my dream
You know Im workin
Im working, Im trying
Im not sloughin off, Im givin it all I got
And you know, Im ready for the house
Im ready for the house
Im ready for the house
The house is mine
Its in my mind
They say mind over matter
Well let that be
Let it be my mind
That creates the matter
That builds my house
Out of granite
And cast iron
I love my house
Like I love my mind
Ill take it over anybody elses house
Ill take it over anybody elses mind
You couldnt sell my anybody elses being
Im not interested
You know Im a loner
I dont like anything but my dreams
And doin right by you
And you set my example
Let me build my house
Let me build my house
Let me build my house
Then step my foot inside my dream
Put my dream on this planet
Put my dream on this earth
Then see if I can have some fun
Lets give it a try
Let me build my house
Let me build my house
You know Im ready for the house
Let me live my dream
Ill give up all my time
Ill give up my whole life
Forget all the money
Forget all the time
Forget my whole life
For right now, let me build my house
I want my house
I want a granite house
With steel bars on the windows and doors
And a fence all around it
And maybe on the ceiling too
But ha ha ha ha
You can drive all those other materials they mess with when they make houses
Like wood, plastic and brick and glass
Just give me granite and cast iron
Ill build a house
Ill build a house you can be proud of
Ill live in it, Ill die in it
Ill worship in it
And Ill be good
Cause I wanna be good
You can have all your bad
Ive seen it, and I dont want it
I love good, I love righteous
And I need to be that way
And I know you want that
And I tell you, you got it from me
Let me build my house
Granite and iron
Im ready for the house
Aint no way I can lose
Gimme that house
Aw, just gimme that house
And you got it, as if you didnt have it already
You got it, you got me, you got my love
That wont ever change
No matter where you put me through
Aint nobody else left around
You got me by myself
You want me by myself, you got me
I cant see anybody else
Unless I go where theres people
Which I do
Just to keep tryin to build my house
If I wasnt tryin to build my house Id be in the woods
Walkin around lookin at trees or sand or rock or what or skies
Maybe Id see an animal
Maybe Id see a bird
I tell you what, thought
I wouldnt mind
Can you take me to that place you know
Back whered I be
Well I tell you one thing
At this point Im ready for the house
Im ready for the house
Sounds good enough to me
Im ready for your house
For you house, its not my house
Its your house
You done went and put it in my mind
I mean, where do my thoughts and dreams come from, huh?
