I love the smell of fresh-cut grass, storm clouds passin' through
Remember that angel made of glass I broke when I was two
We rode our bikes and skinned our knees, ate popsicles at night
Dad taught us to tell right from wrong, most times we chose right
Home, it feels so bittersweet
It holds a special place for us, it speaks to you, it speaks to me
Home, it's where we both belong
But no matter where we go from here, we share a special bond
I took Katie to the prom and she left me alone
You cracked me up when I got home, had supper on the stove
And when you moved away from here to make a brand new start
I didn't let you see my tears, but it broke my heart
Home, it's where we had our fights
It's where our girlfriends broke our hearts, we spent sleepless nights
Home, God, it's been so long
But no matter where we go from here, we share a special bond
I hate this brought us back here, it's not how I'd have liked
I never thought I'd bury you, you've been there all my life
You said we'd share a drink the day that I turned 21
But now I sit here all alone, I drink with your headstone
Home, I guess it's not a place
Instead it seems to have been a heart, another's warm embrace
Home, not quite what it once was
But I'll do my best without you here, give Mom and Dad my love
