The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert

I know they say
You can't go (1)________ 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
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 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 (2)____________ for years

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 touch this (3)__________ or feel it

This brokenness inside me
Might start healing

Out here its (4)________ I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I (5)__________ 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

You leave home
You move on
And you do the best you can
I got (6)________ in this whole (7)__________ 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 (8)______________ else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could walk around I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take (9)______________ but a memory
From the house that
Built me
