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 (1)__________ handprints on the front steps are mine

And up (2)__________ stairs
In that little back bedroom

Is where I did my homework
And I (3)______________ to play guitar

And I bet you didn’t know
Under (4)________ 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 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

Mama cut out pictures of houses for years

From ‘Better Homes and Garden’ magazines

Plans were (5)__________ and concrete poured
And nail by nail and board by board

Daddy gave life 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 like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe 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 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 (6)________ place or (7)________ it
This brokenness inside me
Might start healing

Out here its like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I could (8)________ myself
If I could walk around I swear I’ll leave
Won’t (9)________ nothing but a memory
From the house that
Built me
