Home Is Where The Heart Breaks-Will Hoge

I don’t remember much about Daddy at all
G D G
Said he drove a truck, Momma said he was handsome and tall
G C G
But to me he was never more than just a picture on the wall
G D G
And for my 16th birthday all he could give me was a call
G-C-G-D-G
G C G
Momma was a looker, that’s what the men would always say
G D G
She must have tried them all out once Daddy went away
G C G
And to me our back door was just some beat up, turning page
G D G
And I just sat there dying inside, there was nothing left to say
C G
And the wheels go ‘round
D G
And the world gets cold
C G D G
And the best that I could hope for is just to die when I get old
C G D Em
And these four walls drive me insane
C G D G
Sometimes home is where the heart breaks
G-C-G-D-G
Momma died from cancer when I was 22
And this house was all she left to me, so what else could I do
I got a job out paving highways and fell all in love with you
And now months later there’s a nursery in what used to be my room
Now I come home, we don’t talk, and you cry yourself to sleep
And I sit there ‘til the liquor finally gets the best of me
Then I crumple down beside you and kiss your tear-stained cheek
And realize this house is just a black hole and all I ever do is sink
And the tears fall down
And the world gets cold
And the best that I could hope for is to die when I get old
And these four walls drive me insane
Sometimes home is where the heart breaks
My son asked me Saturday “Daddy, how come you never smile?”
The worst thing a man could do is just lie right to his child
So I just tell some tired story about years ago and running wild
He can figure out the cold hard truth on his own in just a while
C G
And the years go by
D G
And the world gets cold
C G D G
And the best that I could hope for is just to die when I get old
C G D Em
And these four walls drive me insane
C G D G
Sometimes home is where the heart breaks
C G D G
Sometimes home is where the heart breaks
G-C-G-D-G
Home is where the heart breaks
