Miranda Lambert Concert in Minnesota!


Miranda Lambert is coming back to Minnesota but this time she is headlining her own concert! Miranda Lambert will be performing at the Verizon Wireless Center in Mankato, MN on May 7th. Opening for Miranda Lambert is country star Chris Young! Chris Young recently had a #1 hit with "Gettin' You Home (The Black Dress Song)." His newest single "The Man I Want To Be" is also a very big hit. I have written many blogs about Miranda Lambert and my love for her and her music so I won't go on and on like I usual do. I just want to mention that she has released another amazing single on March 8th called "The House That Built Me." If you haven't heard it yet I highly suggest you download it ASAP. Miranda Lambert and Chris Young tickets will sell out fast so don't wait to buy some.

"The House That Built Me"
I know they say you cant 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.
And 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 its 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, 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 its 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 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.
