A Home
Dixie Chicks · Home [2002]
from so-called friends quick to advise
though your touch was telling me otherwise
Somehow I saw you as a weakness
I thought I had to be strong
Oh but I was just young I was scared
I was wrong
Not a night goes by
I don't dream of wandering through the home that might have been
I listened to my pride when my heart cried out for you
Now everyday I wake again
In a house that might've been
A home
Guess I did
What I did believing
that love is a dangerous thing
Oh but that couldn't hurt anymore
than never knowing
Not a night goes by
I don't dream of wandering
through the home that might have been
I listened to my pride
when my heart cried out for you
Now everyday I wake again
In a house that might've been
A home
A home.....
four walls, a roof, a door, some windows
just a place to run when my workin day is through
they say home is where the heart is
if the exception proves the rule I guess that's true
Not a night goes by
I don't dream of wandering
through the home that might have been
I listened to my pride
When my heart cried out for you
now everyday I wake again
In a house that might've been
A home a home
