I know they say you cant go home again
I just had to come back one last time
Maam, I know you dont 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 didnt know under that live oak
My favourite 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, its like Im someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in, I swear Ill leave
Wont take nothin but a memory
From the house that built me
Momma 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 mommas dream
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here, its like Im someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in, I swear Ill leave
Wont take nothin 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, its like Im someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could walk around, I swear Ill leave
Wont take nothin but a memory
From the house that built me
