Building Paradise (feat. Morgan Conners)

Thought it might be nice to settle down
Somewhere with stars in the sky
Far from the neon lights uptown
With a well to draw from when I get dry
The water-heater broke
And it smells like smoke
Whenever the AC turns on
This week I replaced it
Now there's a leak in the basement
Who the hell did I do wrong?
Being rich might be nice
But for me it ain't the dream
Spare me all the financial advice
I'm Building Paradise
Piece by piece
For some it may be hard to see
The statue that lies 'neath the stone
It's the promise I see in you
That will make this house a home
The pantry door
Couldn't take it anymore
And he jumped right off the track
I won't lie, it gets tough sometimes
But I'll tell ya, I ain't lookin' back
Being rich might be nice
But for me it ain't the dream
Spare me all the financial advice
I'm Building Paradise
Piece by piece
Push my desk against the window
So I may gaze across the plain
Take a walk through the woodland
Greet each plant by its name
Finally found
The solid ground
My feet were missing all along
The perfect site
On a moonlit night
To sit and write these silly songs
Being rich might be nice
But for me it ain't the dream
Spare me all the financial advice
I'm Building Paradise
Piece by piece
