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 (2)__________ steps are mine

And up those stairs
In that little back bedroom

Is where I did my homework
And I (3)______________ 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 (4)________ place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might (5)__________ 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 (6)________________ of houses for years

From ‘Better (7)__________ and Garden’ magazines

Plans (8)________ (9)__________ and concrete poured
And nail by nail and board by board

Daddy (10)________ life to mama’s dream

I thought if I could touch (11)________ (12)__________ or feel it

This brokenness (13)____________ me
Might start healing

Out here its like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I (14)__________ (15)________ myself

If I could just come in I (16)__________ I’ll leave

Won’t take nothing but a memory

From the house that
Built me

You (17)__________ home
You move on
And you do the best you can
I got (18)________ in this (19)__________ world and forgot
Who I am

I (20)______________ if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness (21)____________ me
Might (22)__________ healing

Out here its (23)________ I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I (24)__________ find myself
If I could walk around I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take (25)______________ but a memory
From the house that
Built me
