Lyrics - A Home by Dixie Chicks

I mistook the warnings for wisdom
From so called friends quick to advise
Though your touch was telling me otherwise
Somehow
I saw you as a weakness
I thought
I had to be strong
Oh but
I was just young,
I was scared,
I was wrong
Not a night goes by
I don’t dream of wandering
Through the home that might have been
And
I listened to my pride
When my heart cried out for you
Now every day
I wake again
In a house that might have been
A home
Guess
I did what
I did believing
That love is a dangerous thing
Oh but that couldn’t hurt anymore than never knowing
Not a night goes by
I don’t dream of wandering
Through the home that might have been
And
I listened to my pride
When my heart cried out for you
Now every day
I wake again
In a house that might have been
A home
A home
Four walls, a roof, a door, some windows
Just a place to run when my working day is through
They say home is where the heart is
If the exception proves the rule
I guess that’s true
Not a night goes by
I don’t dream of wandering
Through the home that might have been
And
I listened to my pride
When my heart cried out for you
Now every day
I wake again
In a house that might have been
A home
A home
