Please tell me you have heard Miranda Lamberts new song "The House That Built Me????"
It is truly brilliance... Rarely do I give out my "rockstar stamp of approval", but she gets one!
This song makes my mom and I cry every time we hear it...the song truly tells the story of me.
I have lived my whole life in this home that I love so much...
My dog that we had for 16 years is buried in the backyard, I learned to play guitar in my bedroom that is up the stairs in the back, my daddy built the house, and its the one place that can really bring me comfort.....this song can touch so many people.
I know most people hate country, but country is one of few genres of music that can actually touch the soul. That is what music is supposed to do, the lyrics should mean something real good...
God gave us such a wonderful gift, music..and it should be used in good ways.
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
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 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, 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 walk around I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me
