I'll build you a house
On a hill by the city
Just so you can still see the light
Buy you good wine
And tell you you're pretty
And love you 'til the day I die

I'll take me a ladder
To the top of a mountain
Just so I can climb good and high
And pick every star
That I've ever counted
And bring them back just so you smile

[Chorus:]
I'll rob me a bank and I'll get me a million
Honey, I don't fear doing time
I'll get you all the fine things
A good life can get you
Right now, I ain't got a dime

I'll shine up my shoes
And take you out dancing
Buy you a diamond that shines
Go tell your daddy I'm a good man that loves you
Love you 'til the day that I die
I'll play my guitar on a stage for a living
But I know sometimes you'll get tired
So, I'll come back home to the house that I built you
And you can fall asleep in my arms

[Chorus]

And go tell the West Coast
Go tell Chicago
Tell Tennessee and New Orleans
I'll be there soon

'Cause right now it's me and it's you

[Chorus]

I'll build you a house
On a hill by the city
Just so you can still see the light
Buy you good wine
And tell you you're pretty
And love you 'til the day I die

Love you 'til the day I die
