The House That Built Me 
Easy
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
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 houses 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 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
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 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
Won’t take nothing but a memory
