You Don't Have To Go Home (but You Can't Stay Here) Lyrics - Oak Ridge Boys

Verse 1: Lord knows I'm guilty 

Of livin' my life 

Like there's always tomorrow 

For making things right 

But our days are numbered 

like the hairs on our head 

No man knows the hour 

he'll shake hands with death. 

Chorus: You don't have to go home 

And live up in Glory 

But you can't stay forever down here. 

For all in this world that's uncertain, 

one thing is clear. 

You don't have to go home but you can't stay here.

Verse 2: There's a master Time Keeper 

Who died on the cross; 

and it breaks His heart knowing 

Hell's gain is his loss.

But if your name is written 

in the Lamb's book of life, 

You'll know where you're going 

if He calls you tonight. 

Chorus-end.
