If You Lived Here You'd Be Home Now Lyrics - The Traveling Kind - Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell

I don't wonder where you are 

I don't even care 

Things have changed 

They're not the same 

You're not my cross to bear 

I see you in a different light 

The truth got through somehow 

If you lived here, you'd be home now 

If you lived here, you'd be on the phone 

Talking to your momma 

Saying you ain't gone and left here yet 

But someday you was gonna 

The day I pledged my love for you 

Sure raised a few eyebrows 

If you lived here, you'd be home now 

You keep wanting me to be something that I'm not 

What you see is what you get 

And I'm the one you got 

And I'm tired of breaking these rocks 

Up in this field my heart won't plow 

If you lived here you'd be home now 

If you lived here, you'd be at my throat 

Like every time before 

Slinging them old hurting words 

And walking on out the door 

Sometimes I think I might want you back 

But there ain't no way, no how 

If you lived here, you'd be home now
