I’ve seen so many smiling faces today
But just what lies behind them I can’t see
I’ve lived my life in many places, you see
Now I don’t know just where I wanna be

‘Cause home ain’t home anymore, no more
My heart ain’t here anymore, no more

The years have opened up a canyon it seems
A canyon deep and wide that I can’t cross
And though my nomad days have opened my eyes
I’ve learned that every game must bear a loss

‘Cause home ain’t home anymore, no more
My heart ain’t here anymore, no more

Don’t be afraid to tell me
That things are not the same
I’m older now and wiser
I know how things can change

‘Cause home ain’t home anymore, no more
My heart ain’t here anymore, no more
