Brazzaville – Rather Stay Home (Jetlag Poetry 2011)

Crisscrossed the country in a van
A young and carefree rock and roll band
Tearing up the open road
Success came like an ice cold hand
Five star hotels by the sand
And suddenly you’re getting old

And I’d rather stay home
I’d rather stay home
‘Cause one thing I know
We all leave this old world alone
And why there’s still time
Don’t wanna be a rolling stone
And I’d rather stay home
I’d rather stay home

10,000 flights to different lands
And your kids are growing up without their dad
They’re wondering why you can’t stay home
Success came like an ice cold hand
Five star hotels by the sand
And suddenly you’re getting old

And I’d rather stay home
I’d rather stay home
‘Cause one thing I know
We all leave this old world alone
And why there’s still time
Don’t wanna be a rolling stone
And I’d rather stay home
I’d rather stay home
And I’d rather stay home
I’d rather stay home
‘Cause one thing I know
We all leave this old world alone
And why there’s still time
Don’t wanna be a rolling stone
And I’d rather stay home
I’d rather stay home
And I’d rather stay home
I’d rather stay home
And I’d rather stay home
I’d rather stay home
