I done kicked around both hither and yon
And I never found a place where I could belong
Never had a home to call my own
Never had a closet to hang my coat
And my momma, well she barely kept us afloat
And my poppa he was a rolling stone
Got no home that I can call my home
I live out in the sticks where the buffalo roam
'Cause where I roam is where I'm at
Got no space where I can store my stuff
I live my life and I don't take guff
The world is my own welcome mat
Well I hooked up with Katie and her broke-down van
Got all our meals from a garbage can
It wasn't so neat but then it wasn't so bad
I played guitar and she played the drums
We rambled all around like a couple of bums
Then she went and left me for a dude named Brad
Home, old bitter home
Home, old bitter home
Tried to get a job but there were none to be had
Just one more unemployed liberal-arts grad
With dirt on his shoes and a song in his heart
I moved to Chicago and then to Spokane
Then I wound up in the place where I began
But by then it was too late to make a new start
