Kenna Childs – The House That Built Me Lyrics

Artist: Kenna Childs
Song: 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
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
