Home
[Verse One]:
So I'm walkin' these dogs, feel like a billion blocks
Amtrak to Greyhound and I can't for 'em to stop
I've been a lot of places, some nice and some not
I seen a lot of faces, some happy, most not
Some was chasin' dreams, others runnin' from their nightmares
Seen a man gun down and I was standin' right there
Don't matter where I go, I always see pain
Lookin' for the sun but all I ever find is rain
Didn't bring Rhianna, no Umbrella
If no luck was bad luck, I'd be a lucky fella
I ran away from home cause dad don't listen
And momma know he wrong cause she just hide in the kitchen
Don't wanna get hit
I don't wanna get hit
Then he got drunk, hit her again, I busted his lip
I ran as far as I could, I couldn't deal with that
But momma wouldn't leave so now I'm headed right back
[Chorus] [Dave Green]:
Home, is where the heart is
And home is where I wanna go
Home, is where my soul is
And home is where I gotta go
Gon' go
[Verse Two]:
I finally made it back to my little hometown
And it's home sweet home even if it's run down
Only been a couple months but it felt like forever
Same ole', same ole', ain't never gon' get better
Bumped into my boy Ray, my so-called friend
Gave a nod and walked past, ain't even ask where I been
Didn't want to go home yet, headed for the pool hall
But it was torn down cause they building some new strip mall
It was after dark when I stepped up on the porch
Took all the strength I had just to knock on the door
And there stood my dad and it was right back to war
For fussin' and fightin', end up on the floor
Shoutin', "I ain't scared of you no more. I ain't gon' run."
Then he said, "Oh yeah?" and pulled out his gun
And momma rushed in as the bullet went to fly
Missed me and hit her and in my arms is where she died
[Chorus] [Dave Green]:
Home, is where the heart is
And home is where I wanna go
Home, is where my soul is
And home is where I gotta go
Gon' go
[Bridge] [Dave Green]:
Damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
Don't wanna go, but I gotta go home
Gotta break free, free from these troubles
I know
Damned if I do, damned if I don't
Don't wanna go, but I gotta go home
Gotta break free, free from these troubles
I know
[Chorus] [Dave Green]:
Home, is where the heart is
And home is where I wanna go
Home, is where my soul is
And home is where I gotta go
Gon' go
