When a melody does find a rhyme
 Says to me I'm comin' home to stay
 Oh, Lord, home to stay
 I'm comin' home to stay
 Home to stay

 Ah, lord, it's just the same old story
 Something about love for glory
 A nickel and a dime a dozen
 Fame
 Ah, it's such a shame
 Ah, the way they use your name
 Ah, you know it's such a shame
 When it's only mine to sing a song
 Hoping that you'd cross along my way
 Before I have to move along
 Ah, now move along
 Ah, but I'll be back again
 Ooh back again

 Ah, it's a happy time inside my mind
 When a melody does find a rhyme
 Says to me I'm comin' home to stay
 Oh, Lord, home to stay
 I'm comin' home to stay
 Home to stay

 Sleep late now mama
 Let the mornin' sun warm your bed
 While I'm away
 While I'm away
