♪ Made my way down to Rome ♪

♪ Seen the sun setting on the beach in Mexico ♪

♪ But I could care less ♪

♪ 'Cause I was all alone ♪

♪ And there ain't no way to touch your body over the phone ♪

♪ I've been all around the world. Done all there is to do ♪

♪ But you'll always be the home I want to come home to ♪

♪ You're a wild night with a hell of a view ♪

♪ There ain't no place, ain't no place like you ♪

♪ There ain't no place, ain't no place like you ♪

♪ You're my daybreak ♪

♪ You're my California sun ♪

♪ You're my Memphis, New York, New Orleans All rolled into one ♪

♪ In the city, the country The mountains or the sea ♪

♪ Wherever you are baby That's where I want to be ♪
