House Of Stone

You can build your house out of bricks
You can build your house out of stone
But as likely as you put it on this earth, my friend
Just 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 this earth, my friend
It's gonna fall
Fall, fall, fall

Well, some men they work for the railroad
And some men they work in a store
And some they get out a long time ago
Just as well 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 this earth, 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 this earth, 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 this earth, my friend
It's gonna fall
