    Dude , I’m a 37 year old man from New England , who has been hardened by poverty and long hard winters. I’ve nailed and clawed for every inch forward in life. Hardship is all we know out here in Northern New Hampshire. This rendition, of this song has me feeling things I haven’t since I was a child. Well done.

      my man, I used to live up that way. I know what you mean! If you ever get a chance, check out Thirsty Moose Taphouse in Portsmouth, NH. If it's the same as it was 5 years ago, they had the best wings I ever tasted in my life. I would like to go back in time and enjoy those once again. Anyway, cheers bro

    I'm a 50-year-old man, and I haven't cried in a long time. You my brother shook my whole Foundation.
    Somehow I feel so very free and so very sad all at the same time. You are a rather extraordinary spirit....thank you.

      Maybe we need tears to cleanse ourselves. Whatever has gone on in your life, remember that sometimes we need to first forgive ourselves. We can hold guilt that really doesn't belong to us, and responsibility for things that we didn't cause. Try to be especially good to yourself.

    The first time I heard this song, I had to just sit down and cry. Except for the second verse about how the house was built, this song is my life. I can close my eyes and see every single room, nick-nack, the pictures on the walls, and yes-my bedroom was upstairs, it’s where I did my homework and practiced playing guitar. My favorite dog ( Suki) really is buried by a tree in the old backyard. My parents are gone now, having died six months apart back in 2000. I have only been back home once since then, and remember passing by our old house and wondering what the people living there today would think if I walked up onto the front porch and knocked on the door.
    Hearing Teddy’s version of this song, with so much emotion, brought back more memories I hadn’t thought of in a long time...thank you for that.
    There is an old song by Waylon Jennings that you would knock out if the ballpark, too....”Rose in Paradise”. You have an amazing gift, Teddy, and the emotion in your voice is amazing. You don’t just enjoying singing, you don’t just use your voice...your entire soul sings, and it’s beautiful.

You are a true talent Teddy your voice is heaven sent and the songs you sing just ooze with soul and feeling ..! Thank you for sharing this song and reminding me in bad times we can go back in time remember our happy memories and begin to heal inside.. can’t wait to see you live in London February in Kentish Town England… Teddy you rock dude!😊

    🎵 lyrics 🎵
    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
    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
    The brokenness inside me might start healing
    But 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 magazine
    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
    The brokenness inside me might start healing
    But out here it's like I'm someone else
    I thought that maybe I could find myself
    If I could just walk 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 brokenness inside me might start healing
    But out here it's like I'm someone else
    I thought that maybe I could find myself
    If I could juste walk in I swear I'll leave
    Won't take nothing but a memory
    From the house that built me

      Remember...Goodbye is never permanent. We always have the memories of everything that made us who we are today and even our future selves. Yes, some of those memories hurt, but at the end of the day...they are what led us to where we are. They taught us what not to do as well as what *to* do. After the childhood I went through...this knowledge is still what gets me through the bad times, and even the good times, that I face...even today.

    Teddy, I'm rarely at a loss for words, but you have made me sit back in my chair and cry (somewhat happy tears, more on that in a moment)... I found you literally 15 minutes ago and I am hooked. Of course, I've only listened to your covers so far, but I can't wait to listen to your originals. As for the tears... music is in me and I can find meaning in almost every song I listen to, but this particular song, Miranda Lambert's "The House That Built Me" touches the depths of my soul and elicits the most intense emotions and reactions....it has a place in my heart... I never thought I'd feel that same response by anyone other than Miranda Lambert, but before you hit the first note in the 3rd line of the first verse, the tears began to fall uncontrollably. THANK YOU so much for sharing your talent and making me feel both happy and somber (it's a good thing!). :-) I see you are going to be in Philly in just a few days...I may have to change my schedule so I can attend!

To now have one of favorite artists cover it is more than I could've ever asked for and more... The emotional reaction I had listening to this is further proof of your phenomenal talent and just how much heart and soul you put into every note out of your mouth. Thank you guys for putting so much of yourselves into your music, it doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated.

    Found this man by mistake one night about 5 years ago been listening to him ever since that wonderful night..he's just amazing to listen to. He's brought a little old country back into this so called new country that I don't care to much for. So as long as he keeps singing his songs I'll be listening..God Bless you Chris!!!

    Sweet song Teddy. So much truth in it that it took me back to my childhood home, and all the good times and bad times that came with it. Because it's not just the good times that build us, but the bad just as well. Keep singing brother. You're making a difference in this crazy world.

    Lyrics:
    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.
    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 old 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.

    Wow...only just come across this on a post on Facebook so decided to listen to the full rendition on RUclips. This blew me away and brought tears to my eyes...took me back to memories of my family home where my family lived for 50 years until sadly my parents passed away. Saw Teddy in a recent concert in Nottingham, UK and what a voice. Sings with passion and soul. Truly talented.

    In tears. This song hits me every time. My mom, who was my best friend, passed away from cancer right before her 52nd birthday a few years ago. I moved out of the state I grew up in a year later. She was the glue to our family, and since she’s passed we’ve all fallen and drifted apart. Thinking of the sweet simple little house we grew up in and how much love we packed into it is achingly beautiful and bittersweet. You sang it beautifully ❤️
