| I grew up in a small town, had all those small town dreams
|
| 'bout a wife and family and all those simple things
|
| I watched Mom and Daddy struggle, they did the best that they could do
|
| To make sure we had a home to go home to
|
| Daddy was a long haul trucker, Momma was a good house wife
|
| Can’t really lay the blame on either one of them, they both started gettin'
|
| lonely at night
|
| After fifteen years of marriage they decided they were through
|
| And all at once we had no home to go home to
|
| A house don’t make a home, that’s what Mom would always say
|
| It’s nothing but a building once true love fades away
|
| You might live in a mansion all fancy and new
|
| And still not have a home to go home to
|
| Well I made myself a promise if I ever left this town
|
| I’d find someone I really loved and do my best to settle down
|
| But life can sure be funny, can play some real strange tricks on you
|
| Now I’m growin' old with no home to go home to
|
| A house don’t make a home, that’s what Mom would always say
|
| It’s nothing but a building once true love fades away
|
| You might live in a mansion all fancy and new
|
| And still not have a home to go home to |
