A hundred miles from west of town
So stir this cocktail, shake me up
You know we got to build, build it up
Build a foundation
Build a foundation, build it up
Spent the night in Tumbledown
Build a foundation, build it up
Don't you know, you've got the whole world in your hands
And I don't really know just who we are
Left a note and signed it "True"
We'll build a foundation
Those construction games were all we played
Oh, I know you've got the whole world in your hands
Yeah we're gonna build, build it up
We'll build a foundation
You know we got to build
Drink me down and take me from the bar
Build a foundation
The fightin' hurts but the lovin' calms
You know we got to build, build it up
Gently up to meet the blue
We'll build a foundation
Build a foundation
Build a foundation
Surrender up and lay down your arms
So more or less, gotta put it to the test
We'll build a foundation
I'll stay here till my love's full up
Oh, I know you're gonna give your best
Build a foundation
Plans were laid, no compromise was made
Build a foundation
