Just an old house with stories of its own 

Takes me back to days gone by 

The colors have faded and the steps are made of stone 

An aging friend against the sky 

When I was a boy I grew to love this land 

And the house my granddaddy's hands had made 

The walls have held stury through every kind of wind 

'Cause everyhing he made he made that way 



Under one roof where the fires of love were burned 

And broken hearts were mended, too 

Under one roof many lessons have been learned 

And simple dreams could still come true 



Now I've been gone for far too long it seems 

But I always knew that I'd come back someday 

And now my life is one to share with you 

We can build this love in a country way 



Under one roof, where the fires of love are burning, 

And broken hearts are mended, too 

Under one roof many lessons to be learned 

And simple dreams can still come true 



Like the man who built the house long ago 

His children's children will continue to grow 

With hopes and dreams that we all could be 

Brothers and sisters in one family and live... 



Under one roof, where the fires of love are burning 

And broken hearts will be mended, too 

Under one roof many lessons will be learned 

And simple dreams can still come true 

There's a place in this world for me and you 

Where simple dreams can still come true
