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 (2)__________ handprints on the (3)__________ steps are mine

And up those stairs
In that little back bedroom

Is (4)__________ 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 (6)________ place or feel it
This (7)____________________ (8)____________ me might start healing
Out here its like I’m someone else
I thought (9)________ (10)__________ I could find myself

If I (11)__________ just (12)________ in I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that
Built me

Mama cut out (13)________________ of houses for years

From ‘Better Homes and Garden’ magazines

Plans (14)________ (15)__________ and concrete poured
And (16)________ by nail and board by board

Daddy gave life to mama’s dream

I thought if I could (17)__________ (18)________ place or feel it

This brokenness (19)____________ me
Might start healing

Out here its like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself

If I (20)__________ 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 (21)__________ touch this (22)__________ or feel it
This brokenness inside me
Might start healing

Out here its like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I could (23)________ myself
If I could walk around I (24)__________ I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that
Built me
