Miranda Lambert's wonderful song first then
Chief Crazy Captain " Country " Christo's version

I know they say you cant go home again
I just had to come back one last time
Mam I know you dont 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 didnt 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 brokeness inside me might start healing
Out here it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe 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
Momma cut out pictures of houses for years
From Better Homes and Garden Magazine
Plans were drawn and concrete poured
And Nail by Nail and Board by Board Daddy gave life to Momma's Dream
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
The brokeness inside me might start healing
Out here it's like I'm someone else
I thought 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
The brokeness inside me might start healing
Out here its 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

Now here is Chief Crazy Captain Country Christo's version
come back here Miranda I love you and I want to bless
your marriage to Blake 'Grand Ole Opry"

OK here is Chief Crazy Captain Country Christo's half-
assed attempt to say thank you to Miranda Lambert.

I know they say you can't go home again,
I just had to come back one last time,
Miranda, I know you don't know me from Adam,or Eve
But these hand prints on the CROSS are mine.

Up those stairs in that little back bedroom,
Is where I did my homework and I listened to you play guitar,
I bet you didn't know behind that big stone,
My favorite son is buried in my heart

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it,
This brokenness inside of me might start healing,
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
I thought maybe I could find myself,
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave,
Won't take nothin but a memory,
From the house the Angels built for me.

Mary cut out pictures of houses for years,
From Better Homes and Garden of Eden too,
Plans were drawn and my sons blood was poured,
Nail by nail and board by board,
My son gave life to your mama's dream.

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it,
This brokenness inside of me might start healing,
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
I thought maybe I could find myself,
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave,
Won't take nothin but a memory,
From the house Angels  built for me.

You leave home and you move on and 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 of me might start healing,
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
I thought maybe I could find myself,
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave,
Won't take nothin but a memory,
From the house Angels built for me.

Respectfully in TRUTH,

Chief Crazy Captain Country Christo
