Home Life

Think I’m gonna stay home
Have myself a home life
Sittin’ in the slow-mo
And listening to the daylight
I am not a nomad
I am not a rocket man
I was born a house cat
By the slight of my mother's hand

I think I’m gonna stay home

I want to live in the center of a circle
I want to live on the side of a square
I used to be in my M-Z now
You'll never find it ‘cause my name isn’t there

Home life
Been holding out for my home life
My whole life

I want to see the ending
I want to learn her last name
Finish on a Friday
And sit in traffic on the highway
See, I refuse to believe
That my life’s gonna be
Just some string of incomplete
Never to lead me to anything remotely close to my

Home life
Been holdin’ out for my home life
My whole life

I can tell you this much
I will marry just once
And if it doesn’t work out
I'll give her half of my stuff
It’s fine with me
We said eternity
I will go to my grave
With the life that I gave
Not just a melody line
On the radio wave
It dissipates
It soon evaporates
But home life doesn’t change

I want to live in the center of a circle
I want to live on the side of a square
I’d love to walk where we both can talk but
I’ve got to leave you cause my ride is here

In my home life
You keep the home life
You take the home life
I’ll come back for the home life, I promise
