Susan Indest, Dusty Hughes - Home is Wherever I Find You Lyrics

Another long hard day at the job
I'm dirty, tired and sore
I put my truck in park, limp toward the door
Each painful step hurts more than the one I took before
And I feel tired way down into my bones

Paint outside is peeling, sidewalk's full of cracks
Flowers are all wilted, weeds climbing up the bricks
Mailbox barely hanging from one old red rusty screw
Then the squeaky door flies open and all I see is you

You grab me, hold me tight, despite the dirt and sweat
You say, Are you glad to be home? I say, You bet
You say, How was your day? I say, Much better now
Your joyous laughter echoes all around

I said, You didn't have to
You said, I wanted to
You know I would do anything
To make a home for you
I said, I will work harder to buy you a nice home
You said, Home is wherever I find you

Water in the shower's warm, towel soft and dry
I follow smells to the kitchen, you greet me with a smile
You say, You clean up pretty as you hand me a cold beer
I'm cooking your favorite dinner, you just sit right here

I said, You didn't have to
You said, I wanted to
You know I would do anything
To make a home for you
I said, I will work harder to buy you a nice home
You said, Home is wherever I find you

I remember before I met you, I was sad and all alone
Time was just to kill until the lonely night was done
Home was a vague memory of family from long ago
Those carefree, love-filled days I knew were gone

I said, You didn't have to
You said, I wanted to
You know I would do anything
To make a home for you
I said, I will work harder to buy you a nice home
You said, Home is wherever I find you
