HOME SWEET HOME Artist: Mötley Crüe You know I'm a dreamer But my heart's of gold I had to run away high So I wouldn't come home low Just when things went right It doesn't mean they were always wrong Just take this song and you'll never feel Left all alone Take me to your heart Feel me in your bones Just one more night And I'm comin' off this Long & winding road I'm on my way Well, I'm on my way Home sweet home Tonight tonight I'm on my way I'm on my way Home sweet home You know that I've seen To many romantic dreams Up in lights, fallin' off The silver screen My heart's like an open book For the whole world to read Somtimes nothing--keeps me together At the seams I'm on my way Well, I'm on my way Home sweet home Tonight tonight I'm on my way Just set me free Home sweet home |
Originally released on the band's 1985 album, Theatre of Pain, the song was accompanied by a music video which documented the band's undertakings over the course of a concert, or several concerts. "Home Sweet Home" was later remixed and re-released as a single in 1991, as "Home Sweet Home '91." This version featured on the band's Decade of Decadence compilation album. The song is often referred to as a power ballad, and its success was a prelude to similar marketing formula for other hair bands in the late 1980s.[1] The song ranks #12 on VH1's chart of the greatest power ballads of all time. The original release of "Home Sweet Home" charted at #89 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "Home Sweet Home '91" peaked at #37 on the same chart in 1992.[2] To date, "Home Sweet Home '91" is the last Mötley Crüe song to chart in the American Billboard Top 40. |
