Lyrics

home

if you?ve got a home
you?ve got somewhere to go
somewhere to be yourself
somewhere to know
if you?ve got a home
you aint doing bad
some folks got nowhere to go

any landlord will tell you
how lucky you are
people outside his house all day
sitting on his car
writing on his walls
kicking down his doors
and turning his front porch into their backyard

if you?ve got a home?

some folks had a place
until recently
things got bad
and they wound up on the street
their memory sustains them
their memory remains
some folks never even knew

if you?ve got a home????..

some folks got a place in Rome
Paris or New York
some sailor?s got a sweet heart
in every port
the President got the White House
every king has got his court
the rest of us get by on next to naught

if you?ve got a home???.
