If I Lived Here

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I don't know if it's been said But home is where you lay your head When you wake up, it's where you wanna be I have to go at closin' time To a house that doesn't feel like mine But I know one place where I'd be more at ease [Chorus] If I lived here, I'd be home by now Every hour would be happy With all my friends around It'd be last call whenever I fall down If I lived here, I'd be home by now [Verse 2] Quarter don't buy much these days But 'round here, it still gets three plays On that old bubbler jukebox in the corner Christmas lights will hide the dust On antler chandeliers and such I wonder what it looks like in the morning Just think of what I'd save on cabs I'd never have to close my tab They couldn't lock the door and make me leave [Chorus] If I lived here, I'd be home by now Every hour would be happy With all my friends around It'd be last call whenever I fall down If I lived here, I'd be home by now [Bridge] Yeah, I can raise hell And nobody cares You don't have to go home When you're already there Yeah, if I lived here, I'd be home by now From my living room, I could paint this town With the money I'd save, I could buy us all a round Yeah, if I lived here, I'd be home by now [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Yeah, if I lived here, I'd be home by now From my living room, I could paint this town With the money I'd save, I could buy us all a round Yeah, if I lived here, I'd be home by now (That's good, whew) Yeah, if I lived here, I'd be home by now From my living room, I could paint this town With the money I'd save, I could buy us all a round Yeah, if I lived here, I'd be home by now [Outro] Come on to my house You don't ever have to leave But please pay your tab and tip your bartender
