The House That Built Me 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 (1)__________ 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 (2)________ live oak
My favorite dog is (3)____________ in the yard
I thought if I could touch this (4)__________ or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here its (5)________ I’m (6)______________ else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could (7)________ come in I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the (8)__________ 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 (9)__________ world and forgot
Who I am
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This (10)____________________ 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
