Lyrics
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)
