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
