Lyrics

Looks like the same hotel room, I always recognize
No matter how far I roam
Same TV, same empty bed, I've seen this once or twice
And everything is monochrome
No place like home, I can almost hear you say
But I was high in the cyclone, getting carried away
For I find myself today so dizzy, so surprised
So many miles from home
Not so young that I believe the road is paved with gold
But oh, what a way to start
Sometimes I feel like Dorothy then I think, I'm no sixteen year old
Could've played that part
Right from the start a dream has seen me through
But dreams don't have to be smart, they have to be true
You think I'm just so clever but I've never been that
I just know the role by heart
I know there's a risk in every road you choose
When you've been gifted with these ruby shoes
Maybe you learn how to use them on the way
Maybe a dream is all there ever was
I may be crazy and there is no Oz
I still believe because, because
Just because anyway
One day you wake up in your own bed
And everything looks strange
It's the same monochrome - you know this house -
But something here has changed
Shoes, but you sure do roam
All that I know with my strength
And heart and mind
The farther away I go
The more home I find
So tonight, if you don't mind
I'm kicking off the shoes and staying
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
