Home Sweet Home
Jason Blaine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where I'm from there's three stop lights
A courthouse clock from another time
and train tracks rusting, cutting right across main street.
Wheat fields got the town surrounded
Friday nights those stands were crowded
I can still hear 'em cheering for the home team.
Couldn't wait to get out but I can't wait to go back
Home sweet home
yeah that's where my heart belongs
Roots must run deep cause I've been everywhere
and man I swear there's no place like
home sweet home
Everything in the world seems right
when I smell my mama's apple pie
and see my dad out back trying to fix stuff.
and driving by that Dairy Queen
and once again I'm 17 riding around this town with my first love
Life's a lil different now
nothing stays the same as
Home sweet home
yeah that's where my heart belongs
roots must run deep cause I've been everywhere
and man I swear there's no place like
home sweet home
home sweet home
Yeah, I've been everywhere but man I swear
there's no place like home sweet
no place like home sweet




no place like home sweet home
home sweet home
