Take Me Back Home

Take Me Back Home

by Bud Lemire on March 31, 2004

Take me back home

Because I feel alone

Life's not what it seems

It was only a dream

What use to be there

Is now a nightmare

The person who use to care

Brings my faults to air

I feel very small

When I gave my all

Is there no good to see

When she thinks of me

I moved west because of love

Now it's something she can't think of

Her expectations I can't meet

I leave this marriage in defeat

Take me back home, to the Midwest

To my family and friends, that I love the best

The thunder and lightning, and all of the snow

This is the place, where I'd like to go

I've come to a decision, I am going home

Note: I had just been told by my wife that

she didn't love me, and wrote this.
