If I Lived Here

I don't know if it's been said

But home is where you lay your head

When you wake up, it's where you wanna be

Now I have to go at closin' time

To a house that doesn't feel like mine

But I know one place where I'd be more at ease

If I lived here, I'd be home by now

Every hour would be happy

With all my friends around

It'd be last call whenever I fall down

If I lived here, I'd be home by now

Quarter don't buy much these days

But 'round here, it still gets three plays

On that old bubbler jukebox in the corner

Christmas lights will hide the dust

On antler chandeliers and such

I wonder what it looks like in the morning

Just think of what I'd save on cabs

I'd never have to close my tab

They couldn't lock the door and make me leave

If I lived here, I'd be home by now

Every hour would be happy

With all my friends around

It'd be last call whenever I fall down

If I lived here, I'd be home by now

(Yeah, whew, no)

Yeah, I can raise hell

And nobody cares

You don't have to go home

When you're already there

Yeah, if I lived here, I'd be home by now

From my living room, I could paint this town

With the money I'd save, I could buy us all a round

Yeah, if I lived here, I'd be home by now

(Yeah, whew)

Yeah, if I lived here, I'd be home by now

From my living room, I could paint this town

With the money I'd save, I could buy us all a round

Yeah, if I lived here, I'd be home by now

(That's good, whew)

(Uh-uh, whew)

Yeah, if I lived here, I'd be home by now

From my living room, I could paint this town

With the money I'd save, I could buy us all a round

Yeah, if I lived here, I'd be home by now

(Yeah, whew)

Come on to my house

You don't ever have to leave

But please pay your tab and tip your bartender
