Home Street Home Lyrics

When I was ten, my old man split
My mama just couldn't deal with it
So I jumped onto a railroad car
And headed out west to be a rock star
Well I got off in Hollywood
And I'd get out baby if I could
'Cause times is tough and my luck is bad
I ain't got no money and it makes me mad

Chorus:
So when you see me on the street
Just remember my shoes could be on your feet
And it's home street home
Well a buddy of mine went to Vietnam
And his own guys hit him with a shot of Napalm
Now he can't really breathe that well
And he can't get a job, but what the hell
His benefits ain't never come through
And I'm sure they were spent by you know who
I'd like to laugh, that'd be a switch
Life ain't no joke, it's a b****
Chorus
