[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
