I know they say you cant go home again.
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.
And up those stairs, in that little back bedroom.
Is where I did my homework, and learned to play guitar.
And I bet you didn't know under that live Oak
my favorite dog is buried in the yard.
Chorus:
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
this brokeness 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 Garden magazines.
Plans were drawn, concrete poured
and nail by nail and board by board
Daddy gave life to Mama's dream
Chorus
You leave home, you move on, and you do the best you can.
I got ost in this whole world and forgot who I am.
Chorus
