Homeless

Desert Rose Band

She started out a rodeo queen,

Future looked just fine

Fell in love with a boy in school,

Married an assembly line

They were huntin' down the American dream

Wonderin' where it'd gone

When they found themselves

To be fair game lost their home



He was laid off on a Friday night went out

Drinkin' with his friends

She stayed in the car with the kids all night,

He never came back again

Oh what was she to do,

Where was she to go

Is home really were the heart is

When the heart can't feel at home



Homeless, her and her family

Homeless, is this the way of livin' free

And her house is an abandoned car

At the side of the road

Homeless, will she find where that road goes



Her time is now so precious,

She hunts for work and food

Their clothes are torn and tattered,

So her kids stay out of school

She looks for hope under every can

"At the sound of the tone

Just leave a message. We'll call you back"

But they know she's not at home



Homeless, her and her family

Homeless, is this the way of livin' free

And her house is an abandoned car

At the side of the road

Homeless, will she find where that road goes



In this land of milk and honey

We share with all who need

Except the ones outside our door,

The ones we cannot see

It's the proud, the true,

The faithful left out in the cold

It's people just like you and me

At the end of the road



Homeless, her and her family

Homeless, is this the way of livin' free

And her house is an abandoned car

At the side of the road

Homeless, will she find where that road goes

Homeless, will she find where that road goes
