[Verse 1]When you go down in the hole in the groundSpare a thought for all that gather aroundThere's not enough of yourself to put your soul on a shelfJust have it on for whatever you can getTo pay your final debtTo play your safest betWhen you can't a job 'cause there's nothing in this townAnd this pent-up energy wears you downWhen boredom settles in and depression starts to winIt's hard to recognise the face that's looking backThat's a painful factIt's a painful fact[Chorus]It's my home, it's where I've grownIt's my home, it's all I've knowIt's my home, it's where I've grownIt's my home, it's all I've knowIt's left me with just my skin and bones[Verse 2]And you dream of skipping town, well it all came crashing downWhen your poor old daddy took you inSo you climb inside a beer 'cause it's always crystal clearTryna drink all the sorrow outta youWith the same old crewThe birds that never flew[Chorus]It's my home, it's where I've grownIt's my home, it's all I've knowIt's my home, it's where I've grownIt's my home, it's all I've knowIt's left me with just my skin and bones[Verse 3]And the only saving grace is your lovely, sweet faceBet she'll grow old with youBut soon her pretty eyes will show the sadness inside'Cause you trapped that bird in the cage with youTwo birds that never flewTwo birds that never flewTwo birds that never flewTwo birds that never flew[Chorus]This is my home, it's where I've grownIt's my home, it's all I've knowThis is my home, it's where I've grownThis is my home, it's all I've knowBefore I walk, just rolling stonesSo I'll be on, oh, I'll be onOh, I'll be on my way
