Miranda Lambert: 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
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 Gardens 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 and you move on and you do the best you 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 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
人们都说：离开老房子便不能再回去
我只是想再回家看最后一次
来开门的女士，我想你压根儿都不认识我吧
但是这房子的前廊封存着我小时的手印儿
楼上后面的小卧间
是我做作业和第一次学弹吉他的地方
还有一个地方，我打赌你们一定不知道
在那颗槲树下面
埋葬着我最爱的狗儿
只要我能触摸到这个地方，感受它
心中的伤痕也许就可以渐渐痊愈
现实中我好像在过别人的生活
如何才能找回自己
如果能让我再次回来，我发誓我只待一会儿
我不会从这所老房子里带走任何东西
除了记忆
几年来，老妈总爱从《美好家园》杂志上
剪下喜欢的房子的图案
画好蓝本，注下幸福的水泥
一根根钉子、一块块木板
老爸尽力使老妈美梦成真
只要我能触摸到这个地方，感受它
心中的伤痕也许就可以渐渐痊愈
现实中我好像在过别人的生活
如何才能找回自己
如果能让我再次回来，我发誓我只待一会儿
我不会从这所老房子里带走任何东西
除了记忆
有一天我离开家、继续我的生活、尽力打拼
然后迷失在世界里，忘了我是谁
只要我能触摸到这个地方，感受它
心中的伤痕也许就可以渐渐痊愈
现实中我好像在过别人的生活
如何才能找回自己
如果能让我再次回来，我发誓我只待一会儿
我不会从这所老房子里带走任何东西
除了记忆
