MIRANDA LAMBERT lyrics : "The House That Built Me"
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
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.
