Steve Young - Home Sweet Home (Revisited) lyrics

The old town looks deep in trouble It's looks like it must have doubled In sin and size since I been gone Papers all full of k**ing Half a million people willing To die for something they have never known City streets of trash and junk and stone Grandfather's watch he gave me Is just another memory I have kept the way it always was And ever since he died, it will not run I always knew I was his favorite one But he's gone like the life of a child When he turns hiss back on your mind Tomorrow has no home sweet homes Look what they've done to mine Well it's just faded into time And that old house we lived in The roof is caving in Like every other one along the block Took 20 years to pay and 10 to rot Now dad just stays that's better off forgot Says it's gone like the life of a child... But the green hills south of Nashville Will rock the Harpeth Valley back to sleep The river takes her winding time She's shallow but her thoughts are running deep And abandoned old DeSoto Found himself a perfect to sleep Where all things dwell And no tongue can tell The secrets that the Harpeth Valley keep Yeah the Civil War hit Franklin Harder than the rest of Tennessee But a 100 years ain't nothing The south will rise again and set them free Well the winds of old blow lightly Over the valley where the neverending dream While the rusty tinroof barnyards Crumble at the old grey farmers feet But it's gone like the life of a child... Somehow I get to feeling The cards that life is dealing Don't fit my hand quite like the lady's does Hers is a touch that I might trust She ain't nothing short of diamonds in the rough Hmm....there ain't no place like home Hmm....there ain't no place like home
