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 these (1)____________________ on the front steps are mine
And up those stairs
In (2)________ little back bedroom
Is where I did my homework
And I (3)______________ to play guitar
And I bet you didn’t know
Under that (4)________ oak
My (5)________________ dog is buried in the yard
I thought if I (6)__________ (7)__________ this place or feel it
This brokenness (8)____________ me (9)__________ start healing
Out here its like I’m someone else
I thought that (10)__________ I could find myself
If I could just come in I (11)__________ I’ll leave
Won’t take (12)______________ but a memory
From the house that
Built me
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
From ‘Better (13)__________ and Garden’ magazines
Plans were drawn and concrete poured
And nail by nail and board by board
Daddy gave life to mama’s dream
I thought if I (14)__________ touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me
Might (15)__________ healing
Out here its like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in I (16)__________ I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the (17)__________ that
Built me
You leave home
You (18)________ on
And you do the best you can
I got lost in (19)________ whole world and forgot
Who I am
I thought if I (20)__________ touch this place or feel it
This brokenness (21)____________ me
Might start healing
Out here its (22)________ I’m (23)______________ else
I (24)______________ that maybe I could find myself
If I could (25)________ around I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take (26)______________ but a memory
