Home to Us

The place we used to live in, you could say it wasn't much

But it was home to us

And you could be forgiven if you thought that it was rough

But it was home to us

The roses in the yard began to wilt and then they turned to dust

But it was home to us

We didn't worry where the road was going to take us to

There wasn't time to make a fuss 'cause that was all we knew

The world around us wasn't safe, the place was falling down

But it was my hometown, and it was home to us

The lady on the hill was drinking brandy

Eating caviar, the perfect host

My mom was in the kitchen washing dishes in the sink

And then she burned the toast

The kids are in the alley playing Molotov 'til the sun goes down

But that was my hometown, and it was home to us

We didn't worry where the road was going to take us to

There wasn't time to make a fuss 'cause that was all we knew

The world around us wasn't safe (the place was falling down)

But that was my hometown

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and it was all I knew, 'cause it was home to us

The place we used to play was in the middle of the street

But it was home to us

When the skies were gray, it didn't matter anyway

But it was home to us

The roses in the yard began to wilt, and then they turned to dust

But it was home to us

Yeah, it was home to us

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, it was home to us
