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 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 (1)________ oak
My favorite dog is buried in the yard

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it

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

If I could (3)________ come in I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that
Built me

And nail by nail and board by board

Daddy gave life to mama’s dream

I thought if I could (5)__________ this (6)__________ or feel it

This brokenness inside me
Might start healing

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

If I could just come in I (7)__________ I’ll leave

Won’t take (8)______________ 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 brokenness inside me
Might start healing

Out here its (9)________ I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could walk (10)____________ I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that
Built me
