A PLACE CALLED HOME
Most nights you can find me out at the bar
Just ‘round the corner, it’s not very far
The music is cold, and the beer is hot
Still I hang in there shot after shot
When did we stop holding hands?
There’s a look in your eyes I can’t understand
When we’re together I still feel alone
Heartbreak lives in a place called home
Some evenings I try to join in with my friends
It’s a back-road party that never ends
We dance, and we sing and have us a time
All the while I keep drinking their wine |
When did we stop holding hands?
There’s a look in your eyes I can’t understand
When we’re together I still feel alone
Heartbreak lives in a place called home
To this love I seldom give voice
The road I’m on was never my choice
So I dry my face and smile and nod
Like an actor supreme in the absence of God
When did we stop holding hands?
There’s a look in your eyes I can’t understand
When we’re together I still feel alone
Heartbreak lives in a place called home

This is a great chorus. Feels like a three chords and the truth song.
Great work.
