The House That Built Me
The House That Built Me
\r\nMiranda Lambert
\r\n
\r\nI know they say you can’t go home again
\r\nI just had to come back one last time
\r\nMa’am I know you don’t know me from Adam
\r\nBut these handprints on the front steps are mine
\r\n
\r\nUp those stairs in that little back bedroom
\r\nIs where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
\r\nI bet you didn’t know under that live oak
\r\nMy favorite dog is buried in the yard
\r\n
\r\nI thought if I could touch this place or feel it
\r\nThis brokenness inside me might start healing
\r\nOut here it’s like I’m someone else
\r\nI thought that maybe I could find myself
\r\nIf I could just come in I swear I’ll leave
\r\nWon’t take nothing but a memory
\r\nFrom the house that built me
\r\n
\r\nMama cut out pictures of houses for years
\r\nFrom Better Homes and Gardens magazine
\r\nPlans were drawn and concrete poured
\r\nNail by nail and board by board
\r\nDaddy gave life to mama’s dream
\r\n
\r\nI thought if I could touch this place or feel it
\r\nThis brokenness inside me might start healing
\r\nOut here it’s like I’m someone else
\r\nI thought that maybe I could find myself
\r\nIf I could just come in I swear I’ll leave
\r\nWon’t take nothing but a memory
\r\nFrom the house that built me
\r\n
\r\nYou leave home and you move on and you do the best you can
\r\nI got lost in this old world and forgot who I am
\r\n
\r\nI thought if I could touch this place or feel it
\r\nThis brokenness inside me might start healing
\r\nOut here it’s like I’m someone else
\r\nI thought that maybe I could find myself
\r\nIf I walk around I swear I’ll leave
\r\nWon’t take nothing but a memory
\r\nFrom the house that built me
