Intro: *lonely guitar solo*
Verse 1:
Weathered steps and creaky doors
This old house has seen it all before
Faded wallpaper, chipped paint too
But it's a roof, and that'll do
Pre-Chorus:
Fussy landlord's got his rules
"Don't park on the lawn," he always schools
But I'll play nice, I'll toe the line
'Cause finally, this place is mine
Chorus:
It's better than sleeping couch to couch
No more favors, no more doubt
Yeah, it's better than drifting day to day
Finally found a place to stay
Good to be home, good to be home
Verse 2:
Radiator hisses through the night
Floorboards groan in the pale moonlight
Windows rattle when the wind blows hard
But it beats sleeping in my car
Pre-Chorus:
Neighbor's music bleeds through the wall
But I've got space to stand up tall
It ain't the Ritz, but that's okay
'Cause I've got somewhere I can lay
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
Cardboard boxes line the hall
Memories and dreams stacked wall to wall
This old place, it's got some years
But now it's where my story steers
Solo:
(Instrumental break - imagine a soaring guitar solo here)
Verse 3:
Sure, the pipes knock and the faucets drip
And yeah, sometimes the power takes a trip
But when I turn my key in that lock
I feel my worries start to drop
Pre-Chorus:
'Cause it's all mine, for better or worse
My own little corner of the universe
No more drifting, no more roam
I've finally found my way back home
Chorus:
It's better than sleeping couch to couch
No more favors, no more doubt
Yeah, it's better than drifting day to day
Finally found a place to stay
Good to be home, good to be home
Outro:
This old house, it might be worn
But it's where new dreams are born
Good to be home, good to be home
At last, I'm home
