She switched songs and turned a page in a notebook that was laying by her leg that revealed the cords to specific songs and she began singing House that built me by Miranda Lambert.

" I know they say you can’t go home again
I just had to come back one last time"

she looked down at her note book again making sure she had all the right cords

"Ma’am I know you don’t know me from Adam
But these handprints on the front steps are mine"

Alexis accidentally pricked the wrong note. "Crap.." she whispered then smiled and went back to singing.

"Up those stairs in that little back bedroom
Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
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"


the wind suddenly picked up and her pages flipped around loosing the one she was on so she carefully laid her guitar flat on her lap and picked up the notebook placing it on top of the guitar finding her page.
