When you need someone And there's no one there There is always the nine o'clock train To take you out somewhere I take the train in town Like I did for years There is only seven more blocks I could walk from here I wanna stay home I wanna stay home right here I wanna stay home today I wanna stay It's only six o'clock When my day begins There is always my alarm clock To wake me up again When I realize the weight That's firmly on my shoulders I just try and find the place I can take a walk on my blind side When these memories fade In my ripe old age Please remember my dear I wanna stay home I wanna stay home right here I wanna stay home today I wanna stay I wanna stay I wanna stay I wanna stay I wanna stay
