[Verse 1]
You say wanna get married
With a house on the hill
Somewhere by the riverside
In a field full of daffodils
Well, you know we ain't there yet
Few bumps in the road
We gonna do this together, babe
Any weather, babe, just take it slow 'cause
[Chorus]
Rome wasn't built in a day
Hard work is hard, but it pays
Walls come together one brick at a time
Let's put a rock on your hand
Throw ten percent on some land
Been savin' up all our nickels and dimes
Kids, houses, love stories
All take their sweet time growin'
You know the best things in life
Don't happen overnight
They don't happen overnight
[Verse 2]
I know you want a big family
Couple dogs in the yard
Spare room for your mama and daddy
When they fly in from Omaha
Well, you know we ain't there yet
A couple stairs to climb
We're gonna do this together, girl
Make a better world for you and I 'cause
[Chorus]
Rome wasn't built in a day
Hard work is hard, but it pays
Walls come together one brick at a time
Let's put a rock on your hand
Throw ten percent on some land
Been savin' up all our nickels and dimes
Kids, houses, love stories
All take their sweet time growin'
You know the best things in life
Don't happen overnight
They don't happen overnight
[Bridge]
Kids, houses, love stories
All take their sweet time growin'
Diamonds don't start out shinin'
People forget that sometimes
[Chorus]
Rome wasn't built in a day
Hard work is hard, but it pays
Walls come together one brick at a time
Let's put a rock on your hand
Throw ten percent on some land
Been savin' up all our nickels and dimes
Kids, houses, love stories
All take their sweet time growin'
You know the best things in life
Don't happen overnight
They don't happen overnight
[Outro]
Let's put a rock on your hand
Throw ten percent on some land
Do we really have to build a spare room for your mama and daddy?
I'm just sayin'
You say wanna get married
With a house on the hill
Somewhere by the riverside
In a field full of daffodils
Well, you know we ain't there yet
Few bumps in the road
We gonna do this together, babe
Any weather, babe, just take it slow 'cause
[Chorus]
Rome wasn't built in a day
Hard work is hard, but it pays
Walls come together one brick at a time
Let's put a rock on your hand
Throw ten percent on some land
Been savin' up all our nickels and dimes
Kids, houses, love stories
All take their sweet time growin'
You know the best things in life
Don't happen overnight
They don't happen overnight
[Verse 2]
I know you want a big family
Couple dogs in the yard
Spare room for your mama and daddy
When they fly in from Omaha
Well, you know we ain't there yet
A couple stairs to climb
We're gonna do this together, girl
Make a better world for you and I 'cause
[Chorus]
Rome wasn't built in a day
Hard work is hard, but it pays
Walls come together one brick at a time
Let's put a rock on your hand
Throw ten percent on some land

All take their sweet time growin'
You know the best things in life

They don't happen overnight

They don't happen overnight
[Outro]
Let's put a rock on your hand
Throw ten percent on some land
Do we really have to build a spare room for your mama and daddy?
I'm just sayin'
