I know they say you can’t go home a-gain
+6 +5 +6 +5 +6 +6 -6 +5 -4
I just had to come back one last time
+5 +6 +6 +5 +6 +6 -6 -4 -4 +5
Ma’am I know you don’t know me from Ad-am
+5 +6 +5 +5 +5 -4 +5 +5 +5 -4
But these hand-prints on the front steps are mine
+5 +6 +6 +6 +6 -6 +5 -4 -4 +5
Up those stairs in that lit-tle back bed-room
+5 +6 +5 +6 +5 +6 +6 +6 +5 +6 +6 -6 +5 -4
Is where I did my home-work and I learned to play gui-tar
+5 +6 +6 +6 +6 -5 +6 +6 +6 -6 +5 -4
And I bet you did-n’t know un-der that live oak

This bro-ken-ness in-side me might start heal-in’

I thought that may-be I could find my-self]
+6 +6 +5 +6 +6 +6+7 +7 +6 -5
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
-5 +5 -5 +5 -5 +5 -5 +5 +6
Won't take noth-in’ but a mem-or-y
+5 +5 -4 +5 -5 +5 +4
From the house that bu-ilt me

Ma-ma cut out pic-tures of hous-es for years
+5 +6 +5 +6 +5 +6 +6 -6 +5 -4
From Bet-ter Homes and Gard-en mag-a-zine
+6 +6 +6 +6 +6 -5 +6 +6
Plans were drawn and con-cr-ete poured
+6 +6 +6 +6 -6 +5 -4
Nail by nail and board by board
+5 -4 +5 +5 -5 +5 +4 -4
Dad-dy gave life to ma-ma’s dream
Repeat Verse
+6 +6 +5 +6 +6 +6+7 +7 +6 -5
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave

You leave home you move on and you do the best you can

From the house that built me
