Home Sweet Home
Dennis Robbins Lyrics

It's just a little white house with a big backyard
The house may not be extravagant, but it's cozy and has plenty of space outside.

A little ol' dog and she's standin' guard
There's a loyal dog protecting the home and those inside.

Can't see nothin' on the TV screen
The TV isn't working or is turned off, but it doesn't matter with everything else going on at home.

'Cause mama's always runnin' that sewin' machine
The mother is always busy working on sewing projects for the household.

And Sarah's always yackin' on the telephone, but
Sarah, likely a family member or friend, is always chatting on the phone, but it's not a big deal.

Oh baby, it's home sweet home
Despite any issues or chaos happening, it's still a wonderful place to call home.

Come here baby, would you look at this
The singer is asking for their partner's attention to show them something important.

Looks like a letter from the IRS
The artist has received a letter from the Internal Revenue Service, which could be bad news.

Might've got a little bit above our means
The letter suggests that the family may have spent more money than they had, leading to financial stress.

Better start soakin' them pinto beans
In order to save money and make it through tough times, the family may have to start eating cheaper foods like pinto beans.

It don't matter honey, if life goes wrong, 'cause
Even if things don't go as planned, the important thing is that they have each other and their home.

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
This is an instrumental section with no lyrics.

Well then the rain keeps a fallin' on an old tin roof
The sound of rain hitting the tin roof creates a cozy and romantic atmosphere.

Listen to it honey, don't it get you in the mood
The singer is enjoying the rain and the mood it sets, suggesting something romantic to their partner.

Just like a song playin' in my head
The atmosphere is so lovely that it feels like a dream or a song playing in the singer's mind.

We're waitin' 'till the little ones have gone to bed
The children are still awake, but the parents are waiting until they're asleep to spend time alone together.

Then we'll blow out the candle, turn the love light on, then
The artist is suggesting that they'll light a candle and create a romantic atmosphere once the children are asleep.

Oh baby, we're home sweet home
The singer is reminding their partner that even though they may be going through tough times, their home and family are still a source of comfort and love.

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
This is an instrumental section with no lyrics.

Home sweet home
This is a repeated phrase to emphasize that even though life may have its ups and downs, home is still a comforting and familiar place.
