Lyrics

Home Is Where the Hurt Is

[Verse 1]

We're well known in every honky tonk in town

Not a night goes by that we don't make the rounds

People wonder why we choose to live this way

Why don't they ever stay at home I hear them say

[Chorus]

But home is where the hurt is

'Cause love doesn't live there anymore

Home is where the hurt is

That's why we don't stay at home much anymore

[Verse 2]

What was once our happy home has come to be

A place to fuss and fight and disagree

Our lonely house with wall to wall regret

And these bright lights somehow help us to forget

[Chorus]

'Cause home is where the hurt is...

That's why we don't stay at home much anymore
