Hurry home baby....the house is falling down
just like the ones on the other side of town
hurry home baby...gotta come up with a plan
burn what we don't need and save what we can
Storm clouds they gathered..but who's got the time
when you're getting yours and I'm getting mine
young soldiers left and never came back
ow it's happening on this side of the track
So hurry home baby...don't stop along the way
they'll try to get you saying what you don't want to say
what's left of our religion will sweep us to the stars
if the Lord takes the house he's sure to leave the car
They say love finds a way...but when directions aren't clear
back alleys keep moving street signs disappear
is love gonna be sold for a spit and a song
thrown across a path where it does not belong
Hurry home baby....I can't hold 'em anymore
they're coming in the through the windows and in through the doors
self righteous indignation no longer does the trick
we're gonna lose it all...brick by brick
If this is how the other half lives
here's hoping I'm blessed for the money I give
can't buy our way to heaven...but it should help hitch a ride
so hurry home baby....while I hold back the tide
