Hear the ping, put the phone face down Hide my grin as my heart pounds Stolen moments, precious seconds Behind locked doors Hear the ping, put the phone face down Hold my breath as my heart pounds Walk on eggshells, plan my words Jump at every sound We watch the time, whatever it may be Enjoy a world where it's just you and me Living love songs, soft and slow Sharing secrets only we can know Robbing clocks like we're Bonnie and Clyde On the run just enjoying the ride Just you and me, the world in-between Will we get away with everything we've been? Home is where the heart aches But it's all I've ever known Once believed it was my dream But with you that dream has grown Home is where the heart lies Feelings I can never show When what should feel wrong feels right Wish that I could spend the night But I have to go Homemade dinner, sitcoms on TV Change the bulb that's been dead for weeks Close lipped, goodnight kisses I'll be up soon Order pizza as a special treat Screens are off, homework's complete Bedtime stories, goodnight kisses I'll be up soon Could you give up all that you had planned When no one you know would understand? Could you live a lie hiding who you'd be With no one to trust or confide in but me? We live under covers, our blinders on Don't look ahead or it could be gone Where do we draw the line that we've already crossed When whatever we choose is too great a cost? Home is where the heart aches But it's all I've ever known Once believed it was my dream But with you that dream has grown Home is where the heart lies Feelings I can never show When what should feel wrong feels right Wish that I could spend the night But I have to go When you find forever too late You can't help but make mistakes And you can't let go when it's more than you can take When you find how life should be And you finally feel free How do you go back to what you thought was happy? Home is where the heart aches But it's all I've ever known Once believed it was my dream But with you that dream has grown Home is where the heart lies Feelings I can never show When what should feel wrong feels right Wish that I could spend the night

I felt I was spinning my wheels Before too long the road was calling I packed everything I own So sure that I was leaving this small town life behind for good And not a single tear was falling It took leaving for me to understand Sometimes your dreams just aren't what life has planned Mama said home is where the heart is When I left that town I made it all the way to West Virginia And that's where my heart found Exactly where I'm supposed to be It didn't take much time It's just south of the Mason Dixon line It's just south of the Mason Dixon line I worked third shift at an all-night diner Only stayed to save a little money for Enough gas to make it to the East Coast That's when I saw the brightest pair of Deep blue eyes walking straight into my life And every night we talked 'til it became so clear And I could feel those dreams inside shifting gears 'Cause love brought me here Mama said home is where the heart is When I left that town I made it all the way to West Virginia And that's where my heart found Exactly where I'm supposed to be It didn't take much time It's just south of the Mason Dixon line It's just south of the Mason Dixon line And I'm standing in my veil about to say I do As mama smiles with tear drops in her eyes And then I realize there's something mama always knew Love is what I really left to find She said home is where the heart is When I left that town I made it all the way to West Virginia And that's where my heart found Exactly where I'm supposed to be It didn't take much time It's just south of the Mason Dixon line It's just south of the Mason Dixon line Mama said home is where the heart is It's just south of the Mason Dixon line Mama said home is where the heart is It's just south of the Mason Dixon line

You know, there's an old saying That's been around quite some time If I can remember it says, "You can take the boy out of the country But you sure can't take the country out of the boy" Now, I might be broke As a matter of fact, I am, ain't got a crying dime to my name But I got a good girl that sits close by my side That's what I'm tellin' y'all I could never be happy on a hill With a whole lot of money, girl It just don't feel like it did with you In a little old shack, girl Way down home across the railroad tracks Take me home (take me home) Sweet home (sweet home) That's where my heart is (that's where my heart is) Oh, I want to go home (sweet home) Sweet home (sweet home) That's where my heart is (that's where my heart is) Some folks groove on big Cadillacs Fancy clothes and stuff like that I was perfectly happy as I can be But she'd play, and my cheatin' way Take me home (take me home) Sweet home (sweet home) That's where my heart is (that's where my heart is) Oh, I want to go home (sweet home) Sweet home (sweet home) That's where my heart is (that's where my heart is) Yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh baby Might not never become a millionaire But long as I got you honey, I don't care I might be down and out, got holes in my shoes But I still feel as rich as Howard Hughes Take me home, huh, to me that says a whole lot No, I want to go home I wonder if you ever felt like that Felt like you was all by your self and had no one to talk to Have you ever felt like that?

Cruel is the Gospel thats sets us all free Then takes you away from me There is no Chicago urban blues More heartfelt than my lament for you I'm a liberal guy, too cool for the macho ache With a secret tooth for the cherry on the cake With a pious smile, a smile that changes what I say While I waste my time in regretting That the days went from perfect to just okay Lordy, what would I do? Don't call me possessive But God if he's smoochin' with you I's a jealous boy root, the world should be free But don't you go following suit, my heart is aligned It couldn't be neutral, I couldn't be that way inclined It's hard to defend Paa paa paa, these feelings might tuppent up friend, it's cruel Paa paa paa, it's cruel Paa paa paa, it's cruel, it's crueler than cruel But cruel is the Gospel thats sets us all free Then takes you away from me Should a love be tender and bleed out loud Or be tougher than tough and prouder than proud? If I'm troubled by every folding of your skirt Am I guilty of every male inflicted hurt? But I don't know how to describe the modern rose When I can't refer to her shape against her clothes With the fever of purple prose Lordy, what would I do? Don't call me possessive But God if he's smoochin' with you I's a jealous boy root, the world should be free But don't you go following suit, my heart is aligned It couldn't be neutral, I couldn't be that way inclined It's hard to defend Paa paa paa, these feelings might tuppent up friend, it's cruel Paa paa paa, it's cruel Paa paa paa, it's cruel, it's crueler than cruel But cruel is the Gospel thats sets us all free Then takes you away from me Cruel is the Gospel that sets us all free Then takes you away from me My contribution to urban blues

Some expressions take me back Like hair of gold and sweet Mary And running to me The sweet sweet songs that cloud your eyes Nostalgia supplies Loreto Highstreet buried me Beneath the oak tree As this is to me Then so to you is something else That keeps you up long past your bedtime, tearing hair The sweetest moment comes at last The waitings over In shock they stare and cue fanfare When Bobby Fischer's plane touches the ground He'll take those Russian boys and play them out of town The sweetest moment comes at last The waitings over In shock they stare and cue fanfare When Bobby Fischer's plane touches the ground He'll take those Russian boys and play them out of town Playing for blood as grandmasters should Some obsessions take me back Like hair of golden and sweet Mary And running to me The sweet sweet songs that cloud your eyes Nostalgia supplies Loreto Highstreet buried me Beneath the oak tree When Bobby Fischer's plane touches the ground He'll take those Russian boys and play them out of town The sweetest moment comes at last The waitings over In shock they stare and cue fanfare When Bobby Fischer's plane touches the ground He'll take those Russian boys and play them out of town Playing for blood as grandmasters should

I've been asking what is new, like my streetwise buddy do Body talk seems big with him, so it's conversations in the gym Ooh enchanted ooh enchanted "Pray Forsooth" and "I Adore" ain't the ticket anymore So how'd you recognise a king? You ask yourself can that cat swing It's time to learn tiger stretch tiger burn Ooh enchanted And the calendar pages blew Like the Montagues, like the Capulet crew Ooh enchanted We're addicted to friction too Comin' down the years, plain enchantment That's the glue that binds and bonds The dying to the new, plain enchantment Ain't no purple rain quite like it Here's something to dwell upon Now we're living next we're gone, so if you've love please pass it on 'Cos it's a disbelieving world, but sensitive as any girl It's time to learn tiger stretch tiger burn Ooh enchanted And the calendar pages blew Like the Montagues, like the Capulet crew Ooh enchanted We're addicted to friction too It's time to learn tiger stretch tiger burn Ooh enchanted And the calendar pages blew Like the Montagues, like the Capulet crew Ooh enchanted We're addicted to friction too Ooh enchanted now we're living!
