I know they say you can't go home again |
| [00:28.78] |
I just had to come back one last time |
| [00:35.14] |
Ma'am, I know you don't know me from Adam |
| [00:41.13] |
But these hand prints on the front steps are mine |
| [00:47.03] |
Up those stairs, in that little back bedroom |
| [00:53.55] |
Is where they did their homework and learned to play guitar |
| [00:59.82] |
And I bet you didn't know underneath that live oak |
| [01:05.93] |
My favorite dog is buried in the yard |
| [01:11.71] |
|
| [01:12.70] |
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it |
| [01:18.97] |
This brokenness inside me might start healing |
| [01:24.97] |
Out here it's like I'm someone else |
| [01:28.37] |
I thought that maybe I could find myself |
| [01:34.91] |
If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave |
| [01:38.51] |
Won't take nothing but a memory |
| [01:43.01] |
From the house that built me |
| [01:53.95] |
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years |
| [02:00.07] |
From Better Homes and Garden magazines |
| [02:05.71] |
Plans were drawn and concrete poured |
| [02:08.35] |
Nail-by-nail and board-by-board |
| [02:11.49] |
But once the kids were grown, it was just too much for me |
| [02:15.69] |
|
| [02:18.74] |
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it |
| [02:24.97] |
This brokenness inside me might start healing |
| [02:31.24] |
Out here it's like I'm someone else |
| [02:34.45] |
I thought that maybe I could find myself again |
| [02:41.14] |
If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave |
| [02:44.84] |
I won't take nothing but a memory |
| [02:48.44] |
From the house that built me |
| [02:59.51] |
They leave home, they move on, and you do the best you can |
| [03:04.89] |
I got lost in this ol' world and forgot who I am |
| [03:12.88] |
|
| [03:15.45] |
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it |
| [03:20.34] |
This brokenness inside me might start healing |
| [03:27.47] |
Out here it's like I'm someone else |
| [03:30.57] |
I thought that maybe I could find myself |
| [03:36.71] |
Ma'am, if I could walk around, I swear I'll leave |
| [03:42.78] |
Won't take nothing but a memory |
| [03:45.47] |
From the house that built me |
