She loved me more than life its self
But the liquid diet I was on starved our love to death
So it's not hard to figure out why my baby's gone
'Cause when I had a home to go to I never did go home

That house was quite a show place
Ten rooms, two maids, two cars
So now that I've got no place, I sure walk them bars
So pour another double while I tell you what went wrong
When I had a home to go to I never did go home

But wait I see her standing at the door
And those big soft eyes are saying we can try once more
So forget the double, keep the change, you can call me gone
'Cause while I have a home to go to this time I'm going home
While I have a home to go to this time I'm going home
