The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert

I (1)________ (2)________ say
You can't go home again

I just had to come (3)________ one last time

Ma’am I know
You don’t know me from Adam

But (4)__________ handprints on the front steps are mine

And up (5)__________ stairs
In that little (6)________ bedroom

Is (7)__________ I did my homework
And I learned 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 might start healing
Out here its like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I (8)__________ find myself

If I (9)__________ just come in I (10)__________ I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the (11)__________ that
Built me

Mama cut out pictures of (12)____________ for years

From ‘Better Homes and Garden’ magazines

Plans were drawn and concrete poured
And nail by nail and board by board

Daddy (13)________ (14)________ to mama’s dream

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it

This brokenness inside me
Might start healing

Out here its (15)________ I’m someone else
I (16)______________ that (17)__________ I could find myself

If I could 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 (18)________ on
And you do the best you can
I got (19)________ in this whole (20)__________ and forgot
Who I am

I thought if I (21)__________ (22)__________ this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me
Might start healing

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