Happy Home

[Verse 1]
I remember the pain in my mother's eyes
I remember the pain of her compromise years ago
I always wanted to help to make it go away
I didn't know it was her freedom that she needed so

[Pre-Chorus]
And she said to me
She said to me

[Chorus]
He hitchhiked to Maine
We went cross-country
I had to leave my home
Had to raise a family
We did the best we could being so young
We tried so hard to build a happy home

[Verse 2]
I never knew what to say to anybody
I didn't know what to do, I was far too young
But everybody could feel the suffocation
Underneath the facade of a happy home

[Pre-Chorus]
And she said to me
She said to me

[Chorus]
He hitchhiked to Maine
We went cross-country
I had to leave my home
I had to raise a family
We did the best we could being so young
We tried so hard to build a happy
Build a happy
Build a happy

[Bridge]
Home sweet freedom
Flowing in my eyes
Home sweet freedom
Flowing in my mind

[Chorus]
We did the best we could being so young
We tried so hard to build a happy home

[Verse 3]
Sacrificed her dreams to motherhood
Waiting and waiting to be understood fully
Sacrificed her years to the family
Waiting and waiting to be heard finally

[Pre-Chorus]
And she said to me
She said to me

[Chorus]
He hitchhiked to Maine
We went cross-country
I had to leave my home
I had to raise a family
We did the best we could being so young
We tried so hard to build a happy home
He hitchhiked to Maine
We went cross-country
I had to leave my home
I had to raise a family
We did the best we could being so young
We tried so hard to build a happy
Build a happy
Build a happy
Home sweet freedom

[Outro]
Build a happy home
