"Home Is Where The Heart Is" lyrics

"Home Is Where The Heart Is"

You know, there's an old saying
That's been around quite some time
If I can remember it says, "You can take the boy out of the country
But you sure can't take the country out of the boy"
Now, I might be broke
As a matter of fact, I am, ain't got a crying dime to my name
But I got a good girl that sits close by my side
That's what I'm tellin' y'all

I could never be happy on a hill
With a whole lot of money, girl
It just don't feel like it did with you
In a little old shack, girl
Way down home across the railroad tracks

Take me home (take me home)
Sweet home (sweet home)
That's where my heart is (that's where my heart is)
Oh, I want to go home (sweet home)
Sweet home (sweet home)
That's where my heart is (that's where my heart is)

Some folks groove on big Cadillacs
Fancy clothes and stuff like that
I was perfectly happy as I can be
But she'd play, and my cheatin' way

Take me home (take me home)
Sweet home (sweet home)
That's where my heart is (that's where my heart is)
Oh, I want to go home (sweet home)
Sweet home (sweet home)
That's where my heart is (that's where my heart is)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh baby

Might not never become a millionaire
But long as I got you honey, I don't care
I might be down and out, got holes in my shoes
But I still feel as rich as Howard Hughes
Take me home, huh, to me that says a whole lot

No, I want to go home
I wonder if you ever felt like that
Felt like you was all by your self and had no one to talk to
Have you ever felt like that?
If you ever felt like that, that means you can say, yeah
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Home, that's where my heart is (that's where my heart is)
I can't get you in the back of my mind
'Cause that's where my heart is (that's where my heart is)
Take me home, sweet home
That's where my heart is (that's where my heart is)

I've got to, I want to go home, baby
That's where my heart is (that's where my heart is)
Got to, got to, got to, oh
I've gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Wanna go home, oh baby
