miranda lambert - the house that built me |
|
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 |
|
up those stairs in that little back bedroom |
|
is where i did my homework |
|
and i learned to play guitar |
|
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 it's 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 you |
|
from better homes and gardens magazine |
|
plans were drawn and concrete poured |
|
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 it's 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 and you move on |
|
and you do the best you can |
|
i got lost in this old 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 it's 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 |
