he knew how to reach me deep inside

and he found a part of me i could not hide

and we'd walk and talk and touch tenderly

then he'd lay me down and make love to me



we built a love so strong and couldn't break

there was not a road we were afraid to take

and we'd kiss all the way from arkansas to rome

'cause in each other's arms we were home sweet home



but he don't feel the same

since our lives became

years of bills babies and chains



home ain't where his heart is anymore

he may hang his hat behind our bedroom door

but he don't lay his head down to love me like before

home ain't where his heart is anymore



if foundations made of stone can turn to dust

then the hardest hearts of steel can turn to rust

if he could only find that feeling once again

if we could only change the way the story ends



and he may still come home

but i live here alone

the love that built these walls is gone



home ain't where his heart is anymore

he may hang his hat behind our bedroom door

but he don't lay his head down to love me like before



he don't lay his head down to love me like before

home ain't where his heart is anymore

no home ain't where his heart is
