Lyrics

Aint no place like home

Me & little Joe had a plan to go
Run away just like a couple a hobo's
Hop on a Santa Fe Railroad car
With nothin' but a knapsack of Hershey Bars.

Mom and dad wouldn't even care
Bet they wouldn't notice if we weren't there
So we headed on down to the railroad tracks
Made us a pack that we'd never come back

But oh we were hungry tired and scared
Then daddy showed up & says "you boys
Are goin nowhere; cause

There ain't no house like the one you live in
There ain't no life like the one you're given
And You're loved more than you're ever gonna know
Don't you know; It's a part of life yeah we all go through it
Even Dorothy and her little dog knew it
It don't matter how far you roam
Cause There ain't no place like home

Me & little Joe made the football team
Had the best record Lincoln High had ever seen
Headed to the finals on a chartered bus
The whole darn town was countin on us
Game came down to the final snap
I went long, Joe dropped back
I dropped the ball we lost that day
We were so ashamed when we drove away
You could hear a pin drop on that bus
But when we got home, the whole darn town
was cheerin for us; sayin boys

There ain't no town like the one you live in
You gave your all; all's forgiven
You're loved more than you're ever gonna know
don't you know
It's a part of life yeah we all go through it
Even Dorothy and her little dog knew it
It don't matter how far you roam
Cause There ain't no place like home


BRIDGE
Joe was in the Middle East; he was one of the brave
He came home on a Red Cross plane
When he got off he struggled down
Dropped to his knees & he kissed the ground
Little Joe said

"There ain't no country like the one we live in
I'd give my life for what I've been given
I love you more than you're ever gonna know
Man you gotta know
It's a part of life; yeah we all go through it
Even Dorothy and her little dog knew it
It don't matter how far you roam
You can go a thousand times around the globe
Cause There ain't no place like home"
