Mckinley - Dorothy lyrics

rate me

(McKinley)<br />

I could build houses that wouldn't bend with the breeze,<br />

Not like my own home of not so brave straw, with a wolf<br />

Living in every part of the yard. They don't mean<br />

To be greedy, that's just what they are.<br />

Falling asleep I feel the walls bending<br />

Close to a buckle. Auntie Em, Auntie Em<br />

God would you look what's coming.<br />

This was no storm I could sleep through,<br />

Like some silly Dorothy, it blew<br />

Holes in me before I could say, "There never was<br />

A place, there never was a place like home."<br />

I was going to join Custer's army or John Wayne's posse.<br />

On my Bantan bike I'd ride away. I never spoke<br />

Of my plans to travel. I was too afraid<br />

I wouldn't be begged to stay.<br />

Now falling asleep I feel the walls bending<br />

Close to a buckle. Auntie Em, Auntie Em<br />

God would you look what's coming.<br />

This is no storm I can sleep through,<br />

Like some silly Dorothy, it'll blow<br />

Holes in me before I can say, "There never was<br />

A place, there never was a place like home."
