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 play guitar
And I bet you didn’t know

My favorite dog is buried in the yard
I thought if I could (2)__________ 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
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
From ‘Better Homes and Garden’ magazines
Plans were (3)__________ and concrete poured
And nail by nail and board by board
Daddy gave life to mama’s dream
I thought if I (4)__________ touch this place or (5)________ it
This brokenness inside me
Might start healing
Out here its like I’m someone else
I (6)______________ that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in I (7)__________ I’ll leave
Won’t take 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 (8)__________ and forgot
Who I am
I thought if I could 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 walk around I swear I’ll leave
