The House That Built Me

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I know they say you cant go home againI just had to come back one last timeMa'am I know you don't know me from AdamBut these handprints on the front steps are mineUp those stairs, in that little back bedroomIs where I did my homework and I learned to play guitarAnd I bet you didn't know under that live oakMy favorite dog is buried in the yardI thought if I could touch this place or feel itThis brokenness inside me might start healingOut here it's like I'm someone elseI thought that maybe I could find myselfIf I could just come in I swear I'll leaveWon't take nothing but a memoryFrom the house that built meMama cut out pictures of houses for yearsFrom 'Better Homes and Garden' magazinesPlans were drawn, concrete pouredNail by nail and board by boardDaddy gave life to mama's dreamI thought if I could touch this place or feel itThis brokenness inside me might start healingOut here it's like I'm someone elseI thought that maybe I could find myselfIf I could just come in I swear I'll leaveWon't take nothing but a memoryFrom the house that built meYou leave home, you move onAnd you do the best you canI got lost in this old world and forgotWho I amI thought if I could touch this place or feel itThis brokenness inside me might start healingOut here it's like I'm someone elseI thought that maybe I could find myselfIf I could walk around I swear I'll leaveWon't take nothing but a memoryFrom the house that built me
