Lyrics

Everybody’s Got To Go Back Home

You can play with fire or play the fool
Toe the line or break the rules
Just remember - everybody’s got to go back home

So gather your tinder and strike your spark
You can light your candle or you can curse the dark
Just remember - everybody’s got to go back home

Home might be a mansion
It might be a tent
It might be the shelter if you can’t make your rent
You might be holding out for some home in the sky
Whatever it takes to help you get by

You do what you must do - you do what you will
But we all got a hole that we’re destined to fill
And remember - everybody’s got to go back home

Your mansion might crumble
You might fold up your tent
You might be sleeping in a doorway if your money’s all spent
Home might be the back seat of somebody’s car
It might just be wherever you are

Dancing with dragons or singing with saints
You are what you are and you ain’t what you ain’t
Just remember - everybody’s got to go back home

No matter what kind of shape you’re in
You know it’s gonna get you but you don’t know when
Just remember - everybody’s got to go back home
