I know they say

you can't go
home again
I iust 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
ls where I did
my homework

and I learned
to play guitar
And I bet

you didn't know
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
heaHng
Out here it's like
I'm someone else

I thought that maybe
I could find my...self
If I could just come in

I swear I'll leave
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

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 hrokenness

inside me might
start healing
Out here it's like
I'm someone else

I thought that maybe
I could find my...self
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
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 hrokenness

inside me might
start healing
Out here it's like
I'm someone else

I thought that maybe
I could find my...self
If I could

walk around
I swear I'll leave
From the house that

built me
