Lyrics:

I know they say
Ya can't go home agian
but i just had to come back one last time
ma'am i know you dont 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 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 brokeness 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 i'll leave
wont take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me

Mamma cut out pictures of houses for years
from better homes and garden magazine
plans were drawn
concrete poured
nail by nail
board by board
daddy gave life to mamma's dream

i thought if i could touch this place or feel it
this brokeness inside me might start healing
out here its like im someone else i thought that maybe i could find myself
if just come in i swear i'll leave
wont take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me

ya leave home
ya move on
and ya do the best ya can
i got lost in this old world
and forgot
who i am

i thought if i could touch this place or feel it
this brokeness 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 i'll leave
wont take nothing but a memory
from the house that
built me
