The House That Built Me de Miranda Lambert

I know they say you cant 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, 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
from the house that built me
