Jerry K. Reed - Heart / Home Lyrics

Heart Home
1.
He was hanging around in a nicotin cloud
And the scent of liquor and broken hearts
He was wasting his time until his last dime
Until the last drunk was falling apart
He was taking the a-train and watching the rain
Hammering down onto the streets
He could see all those taillights, all the red looking liquefied
Mirrored in the black concrete
He was born to be alone, he was born to be on his own
And whereever he went, his heart did never find a home

2.
He was taking a walk all the way down to the dock
Watching as the river flowing by
Where did the water come from and what the hell there is going on?
Thoughts like that always made him cry
He was taking a cab it drove him all the way back
Into the city's ateriosclerotic heart
He was looking around but there was noone to be found
Even the lost souls disappeared in the dark
He was born to be alone, he was born to be on his own
And whereever he went, his heart did never find a home

3.
He was watching the buildings and couldn't control his feelings
Wondering where everybody was at
He made up stories in his brain empathy drove him insane
He cried for people who he'd never met
He was born to be alone, he was born to be on his own
And with the sun rising above he was sick and tired of
All those taunting thoughts torturing his mind
He came home and closed the door, he couldn't take it anymore
He laid down and left the world behind
He was born to be alone, he was born to be on his own
And whereever he went, his heart did never find a home
And whereever he went, his heart did never find a home
And whereever he went, his heart did never find a home
