Right 'round the corner
Down by the canyon
I met a man who lost his way

He said I'm the son
Of a sailor
Who never showed me his face

But daddy's gone
And my momma met a maker
Oh to hell with that place

So I said quit your talking
Your sideways walking
Time to find another path to take

Quit your wining
Your blood-shot crying
Faking like you're dying never pays

Just go home
You need you some home
Oh you need you some home

Her name was peggy sue
And her daddy hung the moon
In her eyes, he could do no wrong

But then he started drinking
Like there's a message in the bottle
Now daddy's painting peggy black and blue

She closes her eyes
Through the hero's demise
Holds to her hope beyond the sky

She takes a breath
Weight comes off her chest
She finds a way to weather through the storm

She cried out home
I need me some home
Oh I need some home
(Some home)

I found myself on a train to california
At twenty-five years of age
Set beside me was a lonely rose of wanderer
Two's always better they say

So we made our plans
She gave me a hand
We ain't go no time for looking back

I was bruised and beaten
Lost for many reasons
Only love would make you understand

Home
I love me some home
I love me some home
(Some home)
Hey I love me some home

We're all bruised and beaten
Lost on account of many reasons
But only love would make you understand

Home
Oh I love me some home
Oh I love me some home
(Love me some home)
Yeah I love me some home
Oh I love me some home
(Love me some home)

Love me some home
