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
