Country

[Verse 1]
They built her back in seventeen 44
Stone by stone from the river shore
Laid each rock with sweat and pride
Said, “she’ll stand the test of time”

[Verse 2]
Winters came with ice and snow
Knock the hell, on her windows
Rain kept pourin’ fast like a river
Prayed for peace, but she knew better

[Chorus]
Like a queen high on her throne
She held her ground, all alone
Through the war, and the pain
Through the fire, and the rain
Through the dark, and the light
This old house, is strong all right

[Verse 3]
We built our lives under her roof
We laughed and cried for the truth
Watched the kids ran down the hall
Left their handprints on the walls

[Bridge]
Now the weight of years’ a-showin’
Dusty beams and paint's a-floatin'
Through the cracks, wind’s a-blowin'
Floors worn, but they’re still holdin'

[Chorus]
Like a queen high on her throne
She held her ground, all alone
Through the fire, and the rain
Through the war, and the pain
Through the dark, and the light
This old house, is strong all right

[Chorus]
Like a queen high on her throne
She held her ground, all alone
Through the fire, and the rain
Through the war, and the pain
Through the dark, and the light
This old house, is strong all right

[Outro]
This old house
Yeah, this old house
This old house
Yeah, this old house…
