Home Is Where The Heart Breaks-Will Hoge G-C-G-D-G G C G I don’t remember much about Daddy at all G D G Said he drove a truck, Momma said he was handsome and tall G C G But to me he was never more than just a picture on the wall G D G And for my 16th birthday all he could give me was a call G-C-G-D-G G C G Momma was a looker, that’s what the men would always say G D G She must have tried them all out once Daddy went away G C G And to me our back door was just some beat up, turning page G D G And I just sat there dying inside, there was nothing left to say C G And the wheels go ‘round D G And the world gets cold C G D G And the best that I could hope for is just to die when I get old C G D Em And these four walls drive me insane C G D G Sometimes home is where the heart breaks G-C-G-D-G Momma died from cancer when I was 22 And this house was all she left to me, so what else could I do I got a job out paving highways and fell all in love with you And now months later there’s a nursery in what used to be my room Now I come home, we don’t talk, and you cry yourself to sleep And I sit there ‘til the liquor finally gets the best of me Then I crumple down beside you and kiss your tear-stained cheek And realize this house is just a black hole and all I ever do is sink And the tears fall down And the world gets cold And the best that I could hope for is to die when I get old And these four walls drive me insane Sometimes home is where the heart breaks My son asked me Saturday “Daddy, how come you never smile?” The worst thing a man could do is just lie right to his child So I just tell some tired story about years ago and running wild He can figure out the cold hard truth on his own in just a while C G And the years go by D G And the world gets cold C G D G And the best that I could hope for is just to die when I get old C G D Em And these four walls drive me insane C G D G Sometimes home is where the heart breaks C G D G Sometimes home is where the heart breaks G-C-G-D-G Home is where the heart breaks
