Everybody's Got a Home But Me
Eddie Fisher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a hitch as far as San Jose
Rode aboard a Greyhound till I ran outta dough
Bid the bus goodbye at Monterey
But I seen a lot of things along the way
And I did a lot of thinkin' on the way
I rode by a house
Lookin' pretty as a Christmas tree
And I said to myself
As I rode by myself
Everybody's got a home but me
I rode by a house
Where the moon was on the porch
And the girl was on her fella's knee
And I said to myself
As I rode by myself
Everybody's got a home but me
I am free and I'm happy
To be free
(To be free)
(To be free)
To be free in the way
I wanna be
(Wanna be)
(Wanna be)
But once in a while
When I'm talkin' to myself
And there's no one there to disagree
I look up and I cry
To a big empty sky
Won't there ever be
A home for me somewhere
Everybody's got a home but me
The lyrics of Eddie Fisher's song "Everybody's Got a Home But Me" tells the story of a person who has been travelling and hopping from one place to another, without finding a permanent residence to call home. The singer describes how he left San Francisco and travelled along Route 101, hitchhiked to San Jose, and then continued on a Greyhound bus until he ran out of money and stopped in Monterey. Along the way, he saw many beautiful things and had time for self-reflection.
As he travels, he sees houses with lights and beautiful decorations, where couples sit together, and he realizes that he is alone and has no home. Although he values the freedom he has to be on his own and travel as he pleases, there are times when he feels a longing for a place to belong, for someone to share his life with. He looks up at the sky and wonders if he will ever find that place to call home.
The song provides a contrast between the freedom and loneliness that comes with not having a specific home and the warmth and security that come from having a place to return to. The lyrics also illustrate the importance of having a sense of belonging and the need for human connection.
