The ride I was to get has been and gone
It's hard to keep myself from moving on
Always sleeping on the mattresses of friends
Like a chain of so many islands
How do you keep yourself so warm
Oh, you're a home away from home
Traveling hard on a worn-out wheel
Makes you hungry for a home cooked meal
Friends will envy your independent ways
But you will long for their household days
OooOoo, how do you keep yourself so warm
Oh, you're a home away from home
Doo Dah, Doo Dah day
Heads says I go tails says I say
One two, lucky you
Three four close the door
Can I borrow your toothbrush borrow your time
Better figure out where to draw the line
Like an overstayed guest love will rob you blind
When you let it move into your mind
Ah, how do you keep yourself so warm
Oh, you're a home away from home
Oh, you're a home away from home
