[Verse 1]
Building in the pool, tore down the barn
Took out the gas grill, paved the farm
Sacred ground, sacred ground
Sister got married under that tree
Cottonwood tire swings, small town dream
Sacred ground, sacred ground

[Chorus 1]
Yellow brick house down a gravel road
Holes in the roof that never showed
Always seemed like paradise to me, yeah
American flag on a chain-link fence
That kind of love hasn't been there since
They covered the whole thing up in concrete
Oh, but it's still sacred ground to me

[Verse 2]
Sunday chicken to feed six kids
Everybody's fighting over two drumsticks
I can see it now, sacred ground
Front yard car wash, summer tans
Tilted floors, window fans
Bees flying around that sacred ground

[Chorus 1]
Yellow brick house down a gravel road
Holes in the roof that never showed
Always seemed like paradise to me, yeah
American flag on a chain-link fence
That kind of love hasn't been there since
They covered the whole thing up in concrete
Oh, but it's still sacred ground to me
