The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert

I know they say
You can't go home again

I just had to (1)________ back one last time

Ma’am I know
You don’t (2)________ me from Adam

But these handprints on the front steps are mine

And up those stairs
In that (3)____________ back bedroom

Is where I did my homework
And I learned to play guitar

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

I thought if I could touch (4)________ place or feel it
This (5)____________________ inside me might start healing
Out here its like I’m someone else
I thought (6)________ (7)__________ I could (8)________ myself

If I could just come in I (9)__________ 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 (10)__________________ Homes and Garden’ magazines

Plans were (11)__________ and (12)________________ poured
And (13)________ by (14)________ and (15)__________ by board

Daddy gave (16)________ to mama’s dream

I thought if I could touch this (17)__________ or feel it

This (18)____________________ inside me
Might start healing

Out here its (19)________ 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 (20)________ nothing but a memory

From the house that
Built me

You leave home
You (21)________ on
And you do the best you can
I got lost in this whole world and forgot
Who I am

I thought if I could (22)__________ this place or feel it
This (23)____________________ (24)____________ me
Might start healing

Out (25)________ its like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I (26)__________ find myself
If I (27)__________ walk (28)____________ I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that
Built me
