Home Ain’t Home

[Verse 1]
Tires singin' on a sun-faded blacktop
Dashboard sayin’ half-past five o'clock
Quarter mile 'til I hit that home stretch
Countin’ down the seconds 'til I see it
That house with the white paint
Your car in the driveay
Walkin' in, you kissin' me, that's what it means

[Chorus]
'Cause home ain't a swing on the porch, light by the door
Or an old dog front-step sittin'
Home ain’t a fire in the fall, pictures on the wall
’Cause, baby, if you ain't in it
It’s just a bunch of sticks and stones and nails that hold
This house together with a tin roof
'Cause home ain't home if I ain't comin’ home to you

[Verse 2]
We could be south of the border, Mexico
California, single-wide off a dirt road
In an up or a downtown city
Old Airstrеam on an F-250
Girl, it's wherever you'rе with me

[Chorus]
'Cause home ain't a swing on the porch, light by the door
Or an old dog front-step sittin'
Home ain't a fire in the fall, pictures on the wall
'Cause, baby, if you ain't in it
It's just a bunch of sticks and stones and nails that hold
This house together with a tin roof
'Cause home ain't home if I ain't comin' home to you

[Bridge]
There wasn't nothin' wrong with this little house
But I didn't know 'til you came around

[Chorus]
Home ain't a swing on the porch, light by the door
Or an old dog front-step sittin'
Home ain't a fire in the fall, pictures on the wall
'Cause, baby, if you ain't in it
It's just a bunch of sticks and stones and nails that hold
This house together with a tin roof
'Cause home ain't home if I ain't comin' home to you
Mm, yeah, if I ain't comin' home to you
