Home Sweet Home


Surviving small town well
Her big brown eyes could cast a teenage spell
And the moon was shining on the night that she said maybe
Only seems like the day before yesterday
Nashville cats really knew how to play
John, Paul, George and Ringo made ‘em cry like babies

I like a little bit more of then
A little bit less of now
It wears well, it’s been good to me
My when and where and who and how
Wouldn’t change the love I’d gotten
Change the love I’ve known
For some 900 TV stations in my home sweet home

Livin on a party line
I knew all of her business and she knew all of mine
Rest your sweet mind, trust your soul to me
Then later on at night after I walked her home
I’d be pickin’ and strummin’ on my Silvertone
The acorn never falls far from the old oak tree
I like a little bit more of then
A little bit less of now
It wears well, it’s been good to me
My when and where and who and how
