More Like Home

Those walls knew all of me and let me stay there anyway
That ceiling heard my teenage hurt when I would close my eyes and pray
Wore out those floors the night before the Wildcats went to State
I always thought where I was raised would be my favorite place

But you feel more like freedom
Than barefeet in my backyard
You feel more like heaven
Than my bedroom window stars
And I guess it doesn't matter
If you can't go back again
'Cause you feel more like home
Than the house I grew up in

Sleep better in your arms than in my first twin bed
The blanket of your whisper calms the monsters in my head
Who I wanted to grow up to be is who I am with you
I thought that first time feeling was lost with my youth

But you feel more like freedom
Than barefeet in my backyard
You feel more like heaven
Than my bedroom window stars
And I guess it doesn't matter
If you can't go back again
'Cause you feel more like home
Than the house I grew up in

When mom and dad have sold that place
I swore I'd never forgive 'em
But I found out that home is more than just four walls you live in

'Cause you feel more like freedom
Than barefeet in my backyard
You feel more like heaven
Than my bedroom window stars
And I guess it doesn't matter
If you can't go back again
'Cause you feel more like home
Than the house I grew up in
