“Home Sweet Home” is a cover song by Carrie Underwood, originally recorded by Mötley Crüe in 1991. The song was used in the eighth season of American Idol, as the contestant farewell song, which would play when a contestant is voted off the show.
[Verse 1]
You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low
Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song
And you'll never feel
Left all alone
[Verse 2]
Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm coming off this long and winding road
[Chorus]
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight, tonight
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
[Verse 3]
You know that I've seen
So many romantic dreams
Up in lights
Falling off the silver screen
My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometimes nothing
It keeps me together at the seams
[Chorus]
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight, tonight
I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Ooh, I'm on my way
Well, I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Yeah, well, I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I’ve always loved this song. Underwood said in a statement. “And besides being very fitting for ‘Idol,’ to me, the title is also very fitting with animal rescue and finding animals their own homes.
