Home is Where MY Heart is

Home is where my heart is Its where all my ducks are in a row Even if the dishes aren’t all clean And the sinks a little bit overflowed

Home Is Where My Heart Is

Home is where my heart is

Its where all my ducks are in a row

Even if the dishes aren’t all clean

And the sinks a little bit overflowed

Home is where my heart is

I can certainly tell you that

Even if my arms look like I’m suicidal

Because of the love bites from my cat

Home is where I go for peace and quiet

If ever it falls just right

Home is where I imagine my greatest dreams

Before I fall asleep at night

Home is where I grow my garden

Until the animals find it there

Funny how it only takes one night

For the whole land to be bare

Home is where I sit and plot

My most devilish of plans

Until good sense rolls on in

And safety is restored to all man

Home is where I got that phone call

The one I’ll never forget

And home is where I had that long cry

That I haven’t told anyone about yet

I used to think home was wherever my partner was

And all's I would ever need is them

But now I see that all I need is me

Any strays that look up to me, and friends

If you're lucky enough to have a family

Then your truly lucky indeed

You have more kisses, more tasks

More arguing, more laughs

It seems every man frets over his path

But I’ve seen every kind of person succeed

I have a shirt that says home is where my heart is

And now it’s obvious to me

Home is wherever I am, and wherever that is

I will make everyone feel at home around me
