The House That Built Me (我长大的房子) (Karaoke Lead Vocal Demo) - ProSound Karaoke Band (宝笙卡拉OK乐队)

I know they say you can't go home again

I just had to come back one last time

Maam i know you don't know me from adam

But these hand prints 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 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 garden magazines

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 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 you move on

And you do the best you can

I got lost in this whole 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 walk around i swear i'll leave

Won't take nothing but a memory

From the house that built me
