Текст Tanya Tucker – 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 hand prints on the front steps are mine

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

I cut out pictures of houses for years
From ‘Better Homes and Garden’ magazines
Plans were drawn and concrete poured
Nail by nail and board by board
That once the kids were grown, it was just too much for me

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

They leave home, they 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

Ma’am, if I could walk around, I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me
