Home Lyrics

It's her 18th birthday and she's packed to leave

Gonna ask for two one-way tickets please

She's been avoiding him for years

Waiting for this day to come

She says come on mumma you can't stay here

Let's go get on a train and disappear

We won't get off until we can finally breathe

Oh someday we can wonder why

But for now, come with me we'll go

Home

20 plus years no wonder you're tired

But mumma you still got a lotta fight

And you wouldn't want me out there all alone

Five years of saving from summer jobs

No calling in sick or taking days off

So hurry up now before he comes on home

Oh somewhere out there over the horizon

Is our brand new life that we design

You've paid the price

For a teen in love

The time is now and we're gonna run

It's you and me

Like Thelma and Louise

We'll build that picket fence around our new house

Play the dixie chicks turned up nice and loud

And our photos in frames

won't be there just for show

Oh someday we can wonder why

But for now come with me we'll go

Home

I know you've had that dream for another try

Of turning back the clock

You've lived with that regret for a thousand nights

But now he's your fresh start

And he's going to be kind

And when he takes you by the hand

He will give you butterflies

Free falling

Cause his mumma raised him right

And love sometimes takes it time

But now no more sleepless nights

Free falling

You've paid the price

For a teen in love

Mum the time is now and we've gotta run

It's you and me

Like Thelma and Louise

We'll build that picket fence around our new house

Play the Dixie Chicks turned up nice and loud

And our photos in frames

Won't be there just for show

We'll live in fear no more

And together we'll take control

So come with me we'll go

Home

Come on mum let's go on home

Home
