LYRICS:
The House That Built Me (Miranda Lambert Cover)

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 they did their homework and learned to play guitar
And I bet you didn't know, underneath 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

I cut out pictures of houses for years
From 'Better Homes and Garden' magazines
Plans were drawn, and concrete poured
Nail by nail and board by board
But once the kids were grown it was just too much for me

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 again
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me

They leave home, they move on and you do the best you can
I got lost in this ole 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
Ma’am if I could walk around I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothing but a memory
From 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 they did their homework
and learned to play guitar

And I bet you didn't know,
underneath 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

I cut out pictures
of houses for years

From 'Better Homes
and Garden' magazines

Plans were drawn,
and concrete poured

Nail by nail
and board by board

But once the kids were grown
it was just too much for me

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 again

If I could just come in
I swear I'll leave

I won't take nothing
but a memory

From the house
that built me

They leave home, they move on
and you do the best you can

I got lost in this ole 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

Ma'am if I could walk around
I swear I'll leave

Won't take nothing
but a memory

From the house
that built me
