Lyrics

I WOKE UP THREE A.M.
TO THE SOUND OF FALLIN' RAIN
THE MOON SHINED LIKE A DIAMOND, THROUGH MY WINDOW PANE
SMELLIN' OF WHISKEY
AND DAY-OLD CIGARETTES
I TURNED DOWN THE BLANKET FROM OUR BED

SHE TRIED TO HIDE HER TEARS
AND LOOKED THE OTHER WAY
HAD SO MUCH ON HER MIND
BUT NOTHIN' LEFT TO SAY
I GRABBED MY BEAT-UP SUITCASE
AND SLOWLY CLOSED THE DOOR
SOMETIMES HOME, ISN'T HOME, ANYMORE

LIKE A GLOVE
THAT DOESN'T FIT RIGHT
A CHAIR
THAT DOESN'T SIT RIGHT
A PICTURE
THAT'S OFF CENTER
AND A DANCER
OUT OF TIME
WHEN ALL THE SAME OLD PLACES
WEAR UNFAMILIAR FACES
THOUGH YOU'VE SEEN 'EM
A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE
SOMETIMES HOME, ISN'T HOME, ANYMORE

I HITCHED A RIDE AT DAWN
WITH SOME LOCAL THAT I KNEW
HE TOLD ME HE'D BEEN FARMIN', SINCE THE AGE OF TWO
COUNTIN' THE HEADLIGHTS
AND MARKERS ON THE ROAD
THIS TIME THERE WAS NO TURNIN' BACK

I HAD TO TAKE A CHANCE
TO LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
AND NOTHIN' IN THIS WORLD
COULD EVER CHANGE MY MIND
WE PULLED INTO THE DEPOT
AND THE RAIN BEGAN TO POUR
SOMETIMES HOME, ISN'T HOME, ANYMORE

EVERY STOP
EVERY STATION
TAKES YOU FURTHER AWAY
IT AIN'T EASY TO LEAVE
BUT IT'S HARDER TO STAY

LIKE A GLOVE
THAT DOESN'T FIT RIGHT
A CHAIR
THAT DOESN'T SIT RIGHT
A PICTURE
THAT'S OFF CENTER
AND A DANCER
OUT OF TIME
WHEN ALL THE SAME OLD PLACES
WEAR UNFAMILIAR FACES
THOUGH YOU'VE SEEN 'EM
A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE
SOMETIMES HOME, ISN'T HOME, ANYMORE
