The House That Built Me" Lyrics
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 bedroomIs where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar.And I bet you didn't know under that live oakMy favorite dog is buried in the yard.
I thought if I could touch this place or feel itThis brokenness inside me might start healing.Out here it's like I'm someone else,I thought that maybe I could find myselfIf I could just come in I swear I'll leave.Won't take nothing but a memoryFrom the house that built me.
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years.From 'Better Homes and Garden' magazine.Plans were drawn, concrete poured,And nail by nail and board by boardDaddy gave life to mama's dream.
I thought if I could touch this place or feel itThis 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 memoryFrom the house that built me.
You leave home, 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 itThis 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 walk around I swear I'll leave.Won't take nothing but a memoryFrom the house that built me.
