The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert

I know they say
You can't go home again

I just had to (1)________ 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 little back bedroom

Is where I did my homework
And I learned to play guitar

And I bet you didn’t know
Under that live oak
My (2)________________ dog is (3)____________ in the yard

I thought if I could touch (4)________ place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here its like I’m (5)______________ else
I thought that (6)__________ I could find myself

If I could (7)________ come in I swear I’ll leave
Won’t (8)________ nothing but a memory
From the house that
Built me

Mama cut out (9)________________ of houses for years

From ‘Better Homes and Garden’ magazines

Plans (10)________ drawn and concrete poured
And nail by (11)________ and (12)__________ by board

Daddy gave life to mama’s dream

I thought if I could (13)__________ this place or feel it

This brokenness inside me
Might (14)__________ healing

Out (15)________ its like I’m (16)______________ else
I thought (17)________ maybe I (18)__________ find myself

If I could just (19)________ in I swear I’ll leave

Won’t take nothing but a memory

From the house that
Built me

You (20)__________ 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 (21)__________ or feel it
This (22)____________________ inside me
Might start healing

Out here its (23)________ I’m someone else
I thought (24)________ (25)__________ I could find myself
If I could walk around I (26)__________ I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that
Built me
