The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert

I (1)________ they say
You can't go home again

I (2)________ had to come back one last time

Ma’am I know
You don’t know me (3)________ Adam

But these handprints on the front steps are mine

And up those stairs
In that (4)____________ back bedroom

Is where I did my homework
And I (5)______________ 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 (6)__________ start healing
Out here its like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself

If I (7)__________ just (8)________ 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 (9)________ by nail and board by board

Daddy (10)________ life to mama’s dream

I thought if I could touch this place or (11)________ it

This brokenness inside me
Might start healing

Out (12)________ its like I’m (13)______________ else
I (14)______________ (15)________ (16)__________ I (17)__________ find myself

If I (18)__________ just come in I (19)__________ I’ll leave

Won’t take nothing but a memory

From the (20)__________ that
Built me

You leave home
You move on
And you do the best you can
I got lost in this (21)__________ world and forgot
Who I am

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness (22)____________ me
Might (23)__________ healing

Out (24)________ its (25)________ I’m someone else
I thought that (26)__________ I could find myself
If I could (27)________ around I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that
Built me
