Karaoke 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 I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
And I'll bet you didn't know but 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 nothin' 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 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
And 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 nothin' but a memory
From the house that built me
You leave home, you move on and you do the best you can
But 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
And 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 nothin' but a memory
From the house that built me
