Home
(Introduction)
Home is where I lay, it's where I lay, is where I lay

(Verse 1)
Was born a child of Sagittarius, grew too soon, and I knew too much
There was a part of me you could never touch, it was the part that felt pain
Born In one state, grew up in another, soon found myself in a place unwelcome
Moved from there I moved on from there, stayed elsewhere for a while but soon I'd end here
The place I call home

(Chorus)
(Home is where I lay, it's where I lay, is where I lay
Home is where I lay, it's where I lay, is where I lay
Home is where I lay, it's where I lay is where I lay
Home is where I lay, home is where I lay)

(Verse 2)
Was a teenager of a city-town, knew entirely too much about the people around
Taught myself everything I knew, (mostly how to face pain)
Learned many things from a girl or more, but there were times I learned from boys even more
There was a lesson I learned, Oh the lesson I learned, keep true to myself no one else is
concerned, And soon my bags were packed

(Chorus)
(Home is where I lay, it's where I lay, is where I lay
Home is where I lay, it's where I lay, is where I lay
Home is where I lay, it's where I lay is where I lay
Home is where I lay, home is where I lay)

(Verse 3)
Moved from there, Oh how I moved from there, ran amuck for a while and grew up in a year; There was a time I was very immature, that time ends now.
Was left behind by a few friends of mine, but I left behind a couple of friends too
The lesson I learned from the left behind, it was to embrace the pain.

(Bridge)
Home is where I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If shall die before I wake
I pray the lord to take me home where I lay

(Refrain)
Home is where I lay, it's where I lay, is where I lay
Home is where I lay, it's where I lay, is where I lay
Home is where I lay, it's where I lay, is where I lay
Home is where I lay, home is where I lay

(Outro)
Home is where I lay my head every single night when I go to bed
Home is where my heart and spirit are in tact
Home is where I find the time to give myself some piece of mind
Home to me is usually a place I can't go back
You see my real true home isn't set in stone, I've come to learn this fact
[My only true home is the place at night where I lay to rest my back]
