Home Sweet Home
Justin Moore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low
Just when things went right
Doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song, and you'll never feel
Left all alone

Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm comin' off this
Long and winding road

I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
Home sweet home
Tonight, tonight
I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
Home sweet home

You know that I've seen
Too many romantic dreams
Up in lights, fallin' off
The silver screen

My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read (world to read)
Sometimes nothing
Keeps me together
At the seams

I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
Home sweet home
Tonight, tonight
I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
Just set me free (Just set me free)
Home sweet home

Home sweet home
Home sweet home

Yeah, I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
Home sweet home

Yeah!

I'm on my way (I'm on my way)




Just set me free (Just set me free)
Home sweet home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Home Sweet Home" by Justin Moore express his feelings about returning home after a long journey. Moore explains that even though he is a dreamer, his heart is always in the right place. He left home with a high spirit so that he would not come home low, and just because things went right doesn't mean that they were always wrong. He encourages his listeners to take this song and never feel left alone. The chorus describes how he wants to be held and felt by someone, and he is almost home now. The second verse talks about how his heart is an open book for the world to read but it seems like nothing can keep him together at the seams. Still, he is coming home to his sweet home and he wants everyone to set him free.


The song is a reflection of the common experience of how people make big decisions in their lives such as leaving home for a new job, going to college, or traveling, but always returning home eventually. Justin Moore's message is one of hope and acceptance that no matter how far you go, there is always a place you can call home.


Line by Line Meaning

You know I'm a dreamer
I have big aspirations and goals for my life


But my heart's of gold
Even though I have big dreams, my intentions are good and pure


I had to run away high
I had to leave in a certain state in order to protect myself


So I wouldn't come home low
I didn't want to return feeling worse than when I left


Just when things went right
Even though things were going well


Doesn't mean they were always wrong
It doesn't mean there were no hardships or struggles


Just take this song, and you'll never feel
If you listen to this song, you will always feel comforted and not alone


Left all alone
Feeling like you have no one and are isolated


Take me to your heart
Embrace me and let me feel loved


Feel me in your bones
Let me permeate your being and soul


Just one more night
I just need one more night of comfort and rest


And I'm comin' off this
I will finally be able to leave this difficult situation


Long and winding road
The difficult and challenging journey that has led to this point


I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
I am finally making progress towards my goal


Home sweet home
The place where I feel safe, comfortable, and at peace


Tonight, tonight
Very soon


Just set me free (Just set me free)
Let me be myself and live the life I want


You know that I've seen
I have experienced and witnessed many things


Too many romantic dreams
I have had too many idealistic and unrealistic hopes for love


Up in lights, fallin' off
Failing and not living up to my romantic expectations


The silver screen
The exaggerated and unrealistic world of Hollywood movies


My heart's like an open book
I wear my heart on my sleeve and am very transparent with my emotions


For the whole world to read (world to read)
My emotions are on display for everyone to see and judge


Sometimes nothing
At times, there is nothing that can help me


Keeps me together
Nothing can hold me up or support me


At the seams
I am falling apart


Yeah!
An expression of excitement and hope

In 1985 as a beaten down 15 year old I set myself free, seeking to find my way in life with hopes of making a better home for myself.
"You know I'm a dreamer,
But my heart's of gold,
I had to run away high,
So I wouldn't come home low".
Same year this song was released becoming a mental cheering on to carry forward on the road I HiT and the tune HiT MaSS sound waves. 35 years later with home found it's been a long and winding road but thanks to the Motliest of Crue's this song still cheers this grown kid on for peace of mind.
"My hearts like an open book for the whole world to read,
Sometimes nothing keeps me together at the seams".
>We all have "Home Sweet Home" for our the souls to keep<
