If You Lived Here You'd Be Home Now - Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell

I don’t wonder where you are

I don’t even care

Things have changed

They’re not the same

You’re not my cross to bear

I see you in a different light

The truth got through somehow

If you lived here, you’d be home now

If you lived here, you’d be on the phone

Talking to your momma

Saying you ain’t gone and left here yet

But someday you was gonna

The day I pledged my love for you

Sure raised a few eyebrows

If you lived here, you’d be home now

You keep wanting me to be something that I’m not

What you see is what you get

And I’m the one you got

And I’m tired of breaking these rocks up in this field my heart won’t plow

If you lived here you’d be home now

If you lived here, you’d be at my throat like every time before

Slinging them old hurting words and walking on out the door

Sometimes I think I might want you back

But there ain’t no way, no how

If you lived here, you’d be home now

It’s time I did the right thing and released you from your vow

If you lived here, you’d be home now

If you lived here, you’d be home now
