| 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 hand prints on the front steps are mine
|
| 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 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
|
| Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
|
| From 'Better Homes and Garden' magazine
|
| Plans were drawn and concrete poured
|
| 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 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
|
| 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 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 |
