Can I stay at you house? I'll sleep on the floor My home is war zone I've no stomach for more You can't hold a candle To what I saw today More than I can handle So I'm running away And those home fires burn Scorching a hole through me And I am welcome no more It's the harrowing story Of one man's mistake And the names have been left out For the innocents sake That man who would save us From the hurt the world brings Neglected to mention Who would save us from him? And those home fires burn Scorching a hole through me It's like the third degree And I am welcome no more Now I've no one to turn to I guess I'm at my wits end I'm beginning to learn who Are really my friends And those home fires burn Scorching a hole through me It's like the third degree And I am welcome no more Home fires burn Scorching a hole through me It's like the third degree And I am welcome no more
