That Godforsaken Hellhole I Call Home

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

As life calls me to travel far and wide,

thoughts of home go with me, as down the road I ride.

But, on the highest mountain, or out on the deep blue sea,

I can't forget my friends and family.


There's no place on the planet quite the same.

No matter how far out I go,

play this worldly game.

Breezes may smell sweeter, when far afield they blow,

but back to where I came from I must go.


To that godforsaken hellhole I call home.

It always draws me back again, wherever I may roam.

As squalid as Calcutta, as decadent as Rome,

that godforsaken hellhole I call home.


When I see that welcome sign, I shed a tear.

"Why have I come back again? 

What am I doing here?"

But like a life-long sentence,

without hope for parole,

I can't escape these shackles on my soul.


In that godforsaken hellhole I call home.

It always draws me back again, wherever I may roam.

Farther out than Fargo, lonelier than Nome,

that godforsaken hellhole I call home.


This stranger came to town and asked me "Why?"

Instead of pulling in again, I don't just pass it by.

But all my friends are buried here, 

and some of them are dead.

So home is where I'll always hang my head.


In that godforsaken hellhole I call home.

It always draws me back again, wherever I may roam.

As squalid as Calcutta, as decadent as Rome,

that godforsaken hellhole I call home.
