VERSE 1:

Just around the corner there's heartache--

Down the street that losers use--

If you can wade in through the teardrops,

You'll find me at the Home of the Blues--

VERSE 2:

I walk and cry while my heartbeat

Keeps time with the drag of my shoes--

The sun never shines through this window of mine--

It's dark at the Home of the Blues--

BREAK:

Oh, but the place is filled with the sweetest mem'ries--

Mem'ries so sweet that I cry--

Dreams that I've had left me feelin' so bad,

I just want to give up and lay down and die--

VERSE 3:

So if you've just lost your sweetheart,

And it seems there's no good way to choose--

Come along with me, mis'ry loves company--

You're welcome at the Home of the Blues--

LEAD TACIT--

VERSE 1 / CODA:

Just around the corner there's heartache--

Down the street that losers use--

If you can wade in through the teardrops,

You'll find me at the Home of the Blues--

Yeh, you're gonna find me at the Home of the Blues-- =
