Pull this old rocking chair apart Arm from arm Till all its memories are gone Sell the house I played in as a child Behind the walls beneath the tile There's no longer place for us If home is where your heart is, home for me does not exist If love is like a family, I'll spend my days fatherless Write your name in ink under my skin 'Cause the mark you left is permanent Always fading never gone For every dollar you should not have spent There are words that I should not have said You're the cussing in my songs If home is where your heart is, home for me does not exist If love is like a family, I'll spend my days fatherless Pull this old rocking chair apart Arm from arm Till all our memories are gone
