A LITTLE HOME TO GO TO
This song grew around a few guitar phrases. It became a succinct autobiography, an expression of contentment, and a new song garment suspended on a sturdy old musical hanger.
A LITTLE HOME TO GO TO
(Jody Stecher/ Vegetiboy Music, BMI)
I rambled over this country from Maine to Tennessee
Not a dollar to my name and I never found a home for me
chorus:
Got a little home to go to
Got a little home to go to
Got a little home to go to
Now I never want to go away
I’ve been over the oceans, been ‘cross many a sea
I only got in a little trouble, it was trouble enough for me
chorus
Got a little home to go to, got a little toast and tea
Got me a little good woman; she’s big enough for me
chorus
Got a little bread and coffee, got a pot of pinto beans
Got a little home to go to; it’s bigger than it seems
chorus
Where did you get that button sewn on your hat so fine?
Where did you get such a winning smile?
It gets me every time
I got this button in Paree, I’m the one who made my hat
I get my smile from the way I feel
when you look at me like that.
chorus
