  • Isn't much that I feel I need
    A solid soul and the blood I bleed
    With a little girl, and by my spouse
    I only want a proper house

    There isn't much that I feel I need
    A solid soul and the blood I bleed
    With a little girl, and by my spouse
    I only want a proper house

    Isn't much that I feel I need
    A solid soul and the blood I bleed
    With a little girl, and by my spouse
    I only want a proper house

    There isn't much that I feel I need
    A solid soul and the blood I bleed
    With a little girl, and by my spouse
    I only want a proper house

    I don't care for fancy things
    Or to take part in the freshest wave
    But to provide for mine who ask
    I will with heart on my father's grave

    I don't care for fancy things
    Or to take part in the freshest wave
    But to provide for mine who ask
    I will with heart on my father's grave

    On my father's grave
    On my father's grave
    On my father's grave
    On my father's grave
    On my father's grave
    On my father's grave
    On my father's grave
    On my father's grave

    I don't mean to seem like I care about material things
    Like a social status
    I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my girls (ahoo)

    I don't mean to seem like I care about material things
    like a social status
    I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my girls

    There isn't much that I feel I need
    A solid soul and the blood I bleed
    With a little girl, and by my spouse
    I only want a proper house

    I don't care for fancy things
    Or to take part in the freshest wave
    But to provide for mine who ask
    I will with heart on my father's grave

    On my father's grave
    On my father's grave
    On my father's grave
    On my father's grave
    On my father's grave
    On my father's grave
    On my father's grave
    On my father's grave

    I don't mean to seem like I care about material things
    Like a social status
    I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my girls (ahoo)

    I don't mean to seem like I care about material things
    like a social status
    I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my girls (ahoo)

    I don't mean to seem like I care about material things
    Like a social status
    I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my girls (ahoo)

    I don't mean to seem like I care about material things
    Like a social status
    I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my girls (ahoo) Writer/s: Brian Weitz, David Michael Portner, Noah Benjamin Lennox
