They build wooden houses on the countryside
In the summertime when the water's gone
Diagonal lines in their getaway lawns
And the sage always looks so pretty
But nobody cares where the birds have gone
When the rain comes down on the big time
The stonemason's phone rings all day long
And you gotta get back to the city

I build my house up on this land, baby
Every day with you
There's nothin' in that town I looked
After everything we've been through
Me out in my garden and you out on your walk
Is all the distance this great girl can take
Without listenin' to you talk
I don't need their action, baby
Just you and me on the land
You and me on the land

I built the big time when I learned to fly
Like a 747 fallin' out of the time
I folded 'em stoned and now I'm wonderin' why
I could always looked up in the water
But nobody's askin' why she lookin' so smart
Why she's laughin' too hard, why she drinkin' again
A falling star, she's a big exciter
And she was goin' down when you caught her

I build my house up on this land, baby
Every day with you
There's nothin' in that town I looked
After everything we've been through
Me out in my garden and you out on your walk
Is all the distance this cute girl can take
Without listenin' to you talk
I don't need their money, baby
Just you and me on the land

It's a big cloudy sky, it's a hard wind
It's a record-breakin' grass and it is rollin' in
It's a big sea, but it can't touch you and me
It's just a water view
And what a view
I don't need their money, baby
Woo

I build my house up on this land, baby
Every day with you
There's nothin' in that town I looked
After everything we've been through
Me out in my garden and you out on your walk
Is all the distance this cute girl can take
Without listenin' to you talk
I don't need their money, baby
Just you and me on the land

I don't need their money, baby (I don't need their money, baby)
Just you and me on the land (Just you and me on the land)
You and me on the land
