Lyrics

WHAT I CALL HOME (G.Rodgers / C.Rushton)

I'M STANDING ON THE EARTH THAT HOLDS THE HOUSE THAT I WAS RAISED IN
THIS HOUSE IS EMPTY NOW BUT IT WAS ONCE SO FULL OF LIFE
THROUGH BROKEN WINDOWS I CAN SEE MY FAMILY AT THANKSGIVING
AS MA BRINGS IN THE TURKEY AND MY PA SHARPENS THE KNIFE

CHORUS
WHERE EVER I MAY GO I WILL TAKE THIS RED EARTH WITH ME
WHERE EVER I MAY ROAM THIS WILL ALWAYS BE MY HOME
THEY MAY TEAR IT DOWN BUILD THE TOWN ANOTHER WENDY'S
BUT THIS PLACE THAT I WAS BORN AND RAISED
WILL ALWAYS BE WHAT I CALL HOME

I WALK AROUND THE BACK AND LAY MY HANDS ON THAT OLD OAK TREE
THE ONE ME AND MY BROTHERS USED TO CLIMB AND SWING UPON
LOOKING UP I SEE A BEDROOM WINDOW LEFT HALF OPEN
AND I CAN SEE MY SISTER SNEAKING IN BEFORE THE DAWN

WHERE EVER I MAY GO I WILL TAKE THIS RED EARTH WITH ME
WHERE EVER I MAY ROAM THIS WILL ALWAYS BE MY HOME
THEY MAY TEAR IT DOWN BUILD THE TOWN ANOTHER WENDY'S
BUT THIS PLACE THAT I WAS BORN AND RAISED
WILL ALWAYS BE WHAT I CALL HOME

AS I WALK AROUND THIS HOUSE MY MIND ROLLS AWAY THE YEARS
I THINK OF LOVED ONES THAT ARE GONE BUT IN MY HEART THEY ARE STILL HERE, SO NEAR

AS I WALK BACK TO THE CAR I TURN TO TAKE ONE LAST LOOK
FOR I KNOW TOMORROW THEY WILL TEAR THIS OLD HOUSE DOWN
BENDING DOWN I PUT SOME OF THAT RED DIRT IN MY POCKET
SO THEY CAN ADD DUST TO DUST WHEN THEY LAY ME IN THE GROUND
