"Home Used To Be" lyrics

"Home Used To Be"

I don't want to go home, I don't want to go back
Cause dad don't talk to Tess no more
Mama don't talk to Dad
I don't want to go home, I want to turn back time
Backyard swinging out on Collins street
The feeling's just a memory

Everybody, everybody moved out west
Had to get going It's a doggone mess
No PBJ's with the crust cut off
It's an SOS and it's too far gone
Everybody, everybody gave up hope
Family of seven at the end of a rope
Would have kept us all together if it was up to me
But home ain't what home used to be

Home used to be, a bunch of kids in a tree
A Kool Aid stash and a ketchup stain
Splashing in the pouring rain
Not a worry in the world, just a kickball game
Shirts and skins and the picking teams
The feeling's just a memory

Cause everybody, everybody moved out west
Had to get going It's a doggone mess
No PBJ's with the crust cut off
It's an SOS and it's too far gone
Everybody, everybody gave up hope
Family of seven at the end of a rope
Would have kept us all together if it was up to me
But home ain't what home used to be

Why can't we all just get along?
Everybody say they're sorry and move on
Cause we're all right and we're all wrong

Everybody, everybody moved out west
The house ain't a home It's a real Damn mess
No PBJ's with the crust cut off
It's an SOS and it's too far gone
Everybody, everybody gave up hope
Family of seven at the end of a rope
Would have kept us all together if it was up to me
But home ain't what home used to be
Home used to be
