Don't ever be afraid to go home,
Don't ever be afraid to go home,
When you've hitched your wagon
to a fast falling star,
And the last string is broken on
your love-sick guitar,
Whatever you're doing and
wherever you are,
Don't ever be afraid, don't ever
be afraid to go home,
I used to be afraid to go home.
But one day, I was made to go
home,
Now I was almost certain they
would lock the door on me,
'Cause I'm that sour apple on my
old family tree.
But folks who really love me
made me welcome as could be,
Don't ever be afraid, don't ever
be afraid to go home.

I used to be afraid to go home.
But one day, I was made to go

Now I was almost certain they
would lock the door on me,
Cause I'm the sour apple on my
old family tree.
But the folks who really love me
made me welcome as could be,
Don't ever be afraid, don't you
ever be afraid,
Don't ever be afraid to go home.
