作曲 : Baker, Elam Different day, different town Set it up to tear it down Oh, I ain't been home in almost fifty days Houston, Baton RougePoor girl's gotta pay her dues And this beat up bus is always drivin' away Oh, I love what I doBut I wonder what I do it all for But when I sing, they sing along I forget where I am but I know where I belongThe reason why I'm standing here It's not the miles, it's not the pay It's not the show, it's not the fame that makes it home It's the song Her birthday was in AlabamaFather's Day was in MontanaAnd on Mother's Day, I was nowhere near the phone Every hotel bed feels the same As the last one where I stayedAnd it's vending machines and fallin' asleep alone Yeah, I love what I doBut I wonder what I do it all for But when I sing, they sing along I forget where I am but I know where I belongThe reason why I'm standing here It's not the miles, it's not the pay It's not the show, it's not the fame that makes this home It's the song Dolly and LorettaMaybe some Patsy Cline I'm so lonesome, I could cry But when I sing, they sing along I forget where I am but I know where I belongThe reason why I'm standing here It's not the ride, it's not the name It's not just staying in the game It's not the miles, it's not the pay It's not the show, it's not the fame that makes this home It's the song, ooh, it's the song
