Pull this old rocking chair apart
Arm from arm
Till all its memories are gone
Sell the house I played in as a child
Behind the walls beneath the tile
There's no longer place for us

If home is where your heart is, home for me does not exist
If love is like a family, I'll spend my days fatherless

Write your name in ink under my skin
'Cause the mark you left is permanent
Always fading never gone
For every dollar you should not have spent
There are words that I should not have said
You're the cussing in my songs

If home is where your heart is, home for me does not exist
If love is like a family, I'll spend my days fatherless

Pull this old rocking chair apart
Arm from arm
Till all our memories are gone
