The House That Built Me Lyrics

I know they say you cant 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 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 drawn, concrete poured,



[lyrics was taken from http://www.lyrics.my/artists/miranda-lambert/lyrics/the-house-that-built-me] [ The House That Built Me lyrics found on http://lyrics.my ]
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 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 walk around I swear i'll leave
Won't take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me
