The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert

I know (1)________ 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 (2)____________ back bedroom

Is where I did my homework
And I learned to (3)________ guitar

And I bet you didn’t know
Under that (4)________ oak
My (5)________________ dog is buried in the yard

I thought if I could touch this (6)__________ or feel it
This brokenness inside me (7)__________ start healing
Out here its like I’m someone else
I thought (8)________ maybe I could find myself

If I could (9)________ come in I swear I’ll leave
Won’t (10)________ 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 (11)________ drawn and concrete poured
And nail by nail and board by board

Daddy gave life to mama’s dream

I (12)______________ if I (13)__________ touch this place or feel it

This (14)____________________ (15)____________ me
Might start healing

Out here its (16)________ I’m (17)______________ else
I (18)______________ that maybe I could find myself

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

Won’t (20)________ 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 (21)____________________ inside me
Might (22)__________ healing

Out (23)________ its like I’m someone else
I (24)______________ that (25)__________ I could (26)________ myself
If I could walk (27)____________ I (28)__________ I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that
Built me
