House Of Stone - The Grass Roots

You can build your house out of bricks

You can build your house out of stone

But as likely as you put it on the dirt, my friend

It’s likely it’ll fall on down

Well, you can build it high as a mountain

Well, you can build it thick as a wall

But as surely as you put it on the dirt, my friend

It’s gonna fall, fall-fall-fall

Some men they work for the railroad

Some men they work in a store

And some figured out a long time ago

Just will not work at all

Well, you can build it high as a mountain

Well, you can build it thick as a wall

But as surely as you put it on the dirt, my friend

It’s gonna fall, fall-fall-fall

This road ain’t leadin' me to glory

This path ain’t leadin' me on home

Don’t ask my woman where I’m goin'

I don’t believe she knows I’m gone

Well, you can build it high as a mountain

Well, you can build it thick as a wall

But as surely as you put it on the dirt, my friend

It’s gonna fall, fall-fall-fall

Well, you can build it high as a mountain

Well, you can build it thick as a wall

But as surely as you put it on the dirt, my friend

It’s gonna fall, fall-fall-fall

Yeah, you can build it as high as a mountain
