The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert

I know (1)________ say
You can't go (2)________ again

I (3)________ had to come back one (4)________ 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
Under that live oak
My favorite dog is buried in the yard

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 (5)__________ I (6)__________ find myself

If I could just come in I (7)__________ I’ll leave
Won’t take (8)______________ but a memory
From the house that
Built me

Mama cut out pictures of houses for years

From ‘Better (9)__________ and Garden’ magazines

Plans (10)________ drawn and concrete poured
And nail by nail and board by board

Daddy (11)________ life to mama’s dream

I (12)______________ if I could (13)__________ this place or feel it

This brokenness (14)____________ me
Might start healing

Out here its (15)________ I’m someone else
I (16)______________ that maybe I could find myself

If I could just (17)________ in I swear I’ll leave

Won’t (18)________ nothing but a memory

From the (19)__________ 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 (20)__________ (21)__________ this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me
Might start healing

Out here its like I’m someone else
I thought that (22)__________ I could find myself
If I (23)__________ walk around I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the (24)__________ that
Built me
