The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert

I know they say
You can't go home again

I just had to come back one last time

Ma’am I know
You don’t know me from Adam

But these handprints on the front steps are mine

And up those stairs
In that little back bedroom

Is where I did my homework
And I learned to (1)________ guitar

And I bet you didn’t know
Under that live oak
My favorite dog is buried in the yard

I thought if I (2)__________ touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here its like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself

If I could just come in I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that
Built me

From ‘Better Homes and Garden’ magazines

Plans were drawn and concrete poured
And nail by nail and board by board

Daddy gave life to mama’s dream

I thought if I could (3)__________ (4)________ place or feel it

This brokenness inside me
Might (5)__________ healing

Out (6)________ its like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself

If I could just come in I swear I’ll leave

Won’t (7)________ nothing but a memory

From the house that
Built me

You leave home
You move on
And you do the best you can
I got lost in this whole world and forgot
Who I am

I thought if I (8)__________ touch this place or feel it
This (9)____________________ inside me
Might start healing

Out here its like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could walk around I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that
Built me
