Feels Like Home

Sheryl Crow Feels Like Home Lyrics
1.Shotgun

You'd beg if I was under your hood
But it ain't doing us any good
Rolling through town and going too slow
What we need is an open road

400 horses need a little room to run
Well if you ain't gonna do it let me show you how it's done

Drive it like it's stolen, park like it's rented
What's the point of money if you ain't gonna spend it?
There's a reason roads go past the city limits
Do you wanna drive? Come on, you can ride shotgun
Shotgun

Traffic jam as I'm sitting by, old man holding that same old
sign
Tell me that the end is near but they've been saying that 100
years
But what if he's right, baby?
Maybe this time it's true
And we got nothing to lose

Drive it like it's stolen, park like it's rented
What's the point of money if you ain't gonna spend it?
There's a reason roads go past the city limits
Do you wanna drive? Then baby you can ride shotgun
Shotgun

We gotta drive it like it's stolen, park like it's rented
What good is your money if you ain't gonna spend it?
There's a reason roads go past the city limits
If you ain't gonna drive then baby come on, ride shotgun

Drive it like it's stolen, park like it's rented (Shotgun)
What's the point of money if you ain't gonna spend it?
There's a reason roads go past the city limits
If you ain't gonna drive then baby you can ride shotgun
Shotgun

Shotgun


2.Easy

We said that summer we'd go down to Cancun
But no money makes that kind of hard to do
Forget the beach I'd rather be here with you
Playing Croquet okay, maybe, that's not true

But you make it easy, easy, easy to get away
Sit in the sun and drink beer all day
Because it's easy, easy, easier anyway

Hey, who needs Mexico?
Baby, let's stay home

We'll put on bug spray and we'll lose our clothes
Put out the lawn chairs and turn on the hose
We'll play Jack Johnson, he's the new Don Ho
And we'll go surfing, surfing, we'll surf the radio

'Cause you make it easy, easy, easy to get away
Sit in the sun and drink beer all day
You know it's easy, easy, easier anyway

Hey, who needs Mexico?
Oh, hey, who needs Mexico?
Baby, let's stay home

Drink margaritas and take in the sunset
Later on we'll slip up to our king size bed
And make love, love, sweet love

You make it easy, easy
Oh, yes, it's easy, easy

You make it easy, easy, easy to get away
Sit in the sun and sip tequila all day
Because it's easy, easy, easier anyway

Hey, who needs Mexico?
Tell me now, who needs Mexico?
Baby let's stay home
Baby let's stay home

Let's get away baby
Oh, let's get away, baby
Oh...

Go on a little holiday...


3.Give It To Me

Tell me you don't care
Or tell me you're just scared
But give me something I can hold on to

Just say what's on your mind
Or am I just wasting time?
If you don't want somebody loving you

You've got one foot in and one foot out the door
And baby I can't take it anymore

Just give it to me
Give it to me
Give it to me
All your love

You've got demons in your past
You think real love doesn't last
So pull me close and then push me away

Can't you look me in the eye?
Could you scream or laugh or cry?
But baby if you're leaving say goodbye

But if you can't find the right words anymore
Well then take me up the stairs and close the door

Give it to me
Just give it to me
Give it to me
All your love

Oh baby I'm begging you please
You've got me down on my knees tonight
I know what we have is real
Please remember how it feels to us

You've got one foot in and one foot out the door
And baby I can't take it anymore

Give it to me
Just give it to me
Give it to me
All your love

Give it to me
Give it to me
Give it to me
All your love


4.We Oughta Be Drinkin'

It's the middle of the week
I'm just driving home
The sun's going down and nothing's going on

They played Whiskey River, I turn it up
And suddenly it hit me how thirsty I was

It's only Wednesday night, gotta get up early
And tell you the truth, I ain't that worried
Bout that right now so I think I'm gonna hit downtown and get
loud

(Chorus)
Well it's one of them nights, feels like we oughta be drinkin
We gotta get a little rowdy like we're living in a country song
But some nights are made for staying at home
Sitting on the couch, watching TV alone
But tonight it sure feels like we oughta be drinkin

I'll be damned
I'm not the only one here
Looks like the whole damn town's in the mood for a beer

It ain't the weekend yet, even 2 for 1 night
Cause we're just drawn to that heavy neon light

I'm glad I hate my job
What's your excuse?
You got a broken heart or are you just thirsty too?

Could be anything
But whatever the case
I think we're all planning on getting shit-faced

(Chorus)
But it's one of them nights, feels like we oughta be drinkin
We gotta get a little rowdy like we're living in a country song
But some nights are made for staying at home
Sitting on the couch and watching TV alone
But tonight it sure feels like we oughta be drinkin

But some nights are made for staying at home
And roll a big fat bun and watching Nashville alone
But tonight it sure feels like we oughta be drinkin
Honey tonight it sure feels like we oughta be drinkin
Yea tonight it sure feels like we oughta be drinkin


5.Callin' Me When I'm Lonely

Friday night and its snowing outside
I'm all alone here watching it fall
TVs on but the sounds turned down
Somehow I knew he'd know to call right now

I oughta just let it ring
'Cause every time its the damn thing

Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
Its so wrong to be leading me on and I cant say no
He swears that its gonna be different this time but it wont be
Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?

He left a message saying he was only fifteen minutes away
And thats just enough time for me to figure out if I should stay
or leave
But if I think it through
I ain't got nothing better than you

Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
Its so wrong to be leading me on and I cant say no
He swears that its gonna be different this time but it wont be
Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?

Hes at the front door now
With his magic smile
And hell be gone tomorrow
But right now hes mine for a little while

Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
Its so wrong to be leading me on and I cant say no
He swears that its gonna be different this time but it wont be
Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?

Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?


6.Waterproof Mascara

So he wants to know
Does Superman really need to wear his cape to fly?
Where does rain come from?
And can I play outside?
All my friends have daddys, momma why don't I?

And so I wear waterproof mascara
There's things you shouldn't see when you're a kid
Thank God they make waterproof mascara
'Cuz it won't run like his daddy did

So I'm dating again
Letting my guard down is just so hard to do
Never introduced my son to someone new
'Cuz if I get my heart broke
Honey he will too

And so I wear waterproof mascara
There's things you shouldn't see when you're a kid
Thank God they make waterproof mascara
'Cuz it won't run like his daddy did

I can throw the ball out in the yard
Teach him how to fish
How to drive a car
But in my heart, it just wont be enough
We've always gotten by somehow
I may not need a man right now
But I know he does

Thank God they make waterproof mascara
'Cuz it wont run like his daddy did
That's why I wear waterproof mascara


7.Crazy Ain't Original

Crazy ain't original these days
The world was going half-crazy anyway
Anything you can think of, it's all been done before
Crazy ain't original no more

Checking in and out and in and out of rehab
It ain't quite the shame it used to be
Well you're dressed to be the star 'cause one bad
Mug shot makes you much more interesting

Crazy ain't original these days
The world was going half-crazy anyway
Anything you can think of, it's all been done before
Crazy ain't original no more

Well those neighbors we all tried to stay away from
Twelve kids were not enough, they had thirteen
And what everybody used to call a freak show
Well now we call reality TV

Crazy ain't original these days
The world was going half-crazy anyway
Anything you can think of, it's all been done before
Crazy ain't original no more

Yea all these bankers down on Wall street riding Harleys
Wicked lawyers breaking all the rules
All those grammers with their cosmetic surgeons
Do their best to look like they're still in high-school

Crazy ain't original these days
The world was going half-crazy anyway
Anything you can think of, it's all been done before
Crazy ain't original no more

Anything you can think of, it's all been done before
Crazy ain't original no more


8.Nobody's Business

It's getting late again tonight
And maybe you should just spend the night
But it ain't wrong as long as we think it's alright

But you don't have to park a block away
Or sneak out before the break of day
But if the neighbors see you who cares anyway?

It's nobody's business what we do
Let em all talk if they want to
It's nobody's business if I love you
Oh and I love you
Like nobody's business

Gossip makes the world go round
Especially in this stupid town
Somebody's probably driving by talking trash right now

It's nobody's business what we do
Let em all talk if they want to
It's nobody's business if I love you
Oooooooooooh
Oooooooooooh
Yea I'm gonna love you
Like nobody's business

It's nobody's business what we do
Let em all talk if they want to
It's nobody's business if I love you
Oh and baby I do
Oooooooooooh
Oh and I'm gonna love you baby
Like nobody's business

Let em talk, let em talk
Oh yea
Let em all talk yea
As long as they don't know it's us


9.Homesick

I've gotten used to being gone
Silhouettes and unmade beds
And more and more when I'm alone
I think of you

I'm getting tired of going nowhere
But it's all I ever do
But I can turn this thing around
Guess I don't want to

I turn the key, open up the door
I sit my suitcase down on the hardwood floor
And I call your name, and I climb the stairs
Then I realize that you're not there

And I get homesick
I get homesick
I get homesick
For anywhere but home

I think I used to have the answers
Oh but now I just don't know
Well that question still hangs on
Why did I let you go?
Why did I let you go?

I turn the key, open up the door
I sit my suitcase down on the hardwood floor
And I call your name, and I climb the stairs
Then I realize that you're not there

And I get homesick
I get homesick
I get homesick
For anywhere but home

I keep wishing I'll lose my mind time and time again
There's a picture of it in my head
Of me and you up there

I get homesick
I get homesick
I get homesick
For anywhere but home
Anywhere but home

I get homesick
I get homesick (Oh yes I do)
I get homesick
For anywhere but...
Anywhere but home
Oh but anywhere but home
'Cause I miss you


10.Homecoming Queen

28, shouldn't look this old
But the last ten years sure took their toll
On the girl in the picture with the plastic crown
That sea queen dress wouldn't fit her now
Like it did
Before the kids

Yea she loves her husband 'cause she said she would
Oh it ain't so good but it ain't so good
She swore she wouldn't get stuck in this town
Now she's cutting coupons two doors down
From a mall
And it goes on

Yea too bad love ain't a local parade
In your uncle's Corvette on a Saturday
With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
When you're 17
You don't know
That you won't always be
Homecoming queen

Newspaper clipping and a stash in a box
Are the only things that didn't get lost
She married a guy on the real estate sign
And it's hard to believe once upon a time
She was royalty
The girl we all wanted to be

Yea too bad love ain't a local parade
In your uncle's Corvette on a Saturday
With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
When you're 17
You don't know
That you won't always be
Homecoming queen

Or the captain of the team
And it ain't' what it seems
It's just a teenage dream

Too bad love ain't a local parade
In your uncle's Corvette on a Saturday
With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
When you're 17
You don't know
You won't always be
You don't know
You won't always be
Homecoming queen


11.Best Of Times

I've got a class two Continental
Made in 1965
But with a 'save the planet' sticker
That makes it kind of hard o drive

I got a big house full of pebbles
And I'm a big fan of both kinds
I never want to keep the doctor away
I wanted to show my sweet young mind

It's the best of times
It's the worst of times
Might not change the world
But I'll change it in mine

Chanel my teens fears
Our best days are behind
Like mine
Like mine

And my toys are made in China
My guitar's in Mexico
My foams and food comes from Japan
Give me a dog from Chicago

I need to take myself to Yellowstone
Climb up to that blue ridge too
Remind myself of what's beautiful
About the big muddy whatever

It's the best of times
It's the worst of times
Might not change the world
But I'll change it in mine

Chanel my teens fears
Our best days are behind
Like mine
Like mine

When I woke up this morning
I got down on my knees to pray
'Cause my end time is done running out
But my calendar's full of days

It's the best of times
It's the worst of times
Might not change the world
But I'll change it in mine

Making music parts
Our best days are behind
Like mine
Like mine
Like mine
Like mine
Like mine


12.Stay At Home Mother

Riding in the backseat, sipping on a Pepsi
Looking out the window, driving to the bus stop together
I tell her only three sleeps and I'll be right back
And then we're gonna have a good time when I come together

And I call her every single night
I'll miss her every day
And if she kissed me and waved goodbye
I could hear her say

Stay at home, mother
Stay at home
Stay at home, mother
Stay at home

I've been working late nights making up for the times
That I wasn't in the crowd cheering out loud at our school plays
Tickets to a circus, maybe a new bike
I just want her to know that I love her more than working all
day

But the price will never measure up
To what's inside a box
While I run along around the world
She tells me to stop

And stay at home, mother
Stay at home
Stay at home, mother
Stay at home

We could play house and pretend
That tomorrow you won't be gone
Stay at home, mother
Stay at home

I wish some things were different
Doesn't change one memory
My little girl grew up
While I was too busy to see
That she's become the one thing
That I could never be

Stay at home, mother
Stay at home
Stay at home, mother
Stay at home

She could have a house and couple kids
And never have to be involved
As a stay at home mother
Stay at home mother
Stay at home...
