Home Is Where The Hurt Is Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

We're well known in every honky tonk in town 

Not a night goes by that we don't make the rounds 

People wonder why we choose to live this way 

Why don't they ever stay at home I hear them say 

But home is where the hurt is cause love doesn't live there anymore 

Home is where the hurt is that's why we don't stay at home much anymore 

[ fiddle ] 

What was once our happy home has come to be 

A place to fuss and fight and disagree 

Our lonely house with wall to all regret 

And these bright lights somehow help us to forget 

Cause home is where the hurt is... 

That's why we don't stay at home much anymore
