It Doesn't Feel Like Home
Copyright 2005 by Marjorie Savoie

Verse 1:
She's got two rooms
She's got two beds
Two different places
To rest her little head
And one little bag
She packs up twice a week
They say she's lucky
To have two families

Chorus:
But it doesn't feel like home
She's always moving on
It doesn't feel like home
Just a different pillow to lie her head upon
And every time she's settled in
It's time to pack her back again
And move along
To another place that doesn't feel like home

Verse 2:
Her mom and dad
They just weren't happy
That's why they couldn't live together anymore
So now she spends her life
Shuffling back and forth between their homes
And is she happy
No one's sure
(Chorus)

Bridge:
She's forgot her books again
The school librarian says
Which home did you leave them at this time
The kids begin to laugh but then
Nobody really understands
The reason she's cryin'

Chorus 2:
Cause she doesn't have a home
It's just another place she goes
With a different set of rules
And people she barely even knows
Every time she starts to settle in
It's time to pack that little bag again
And move along
To another place the doesn't feel like home
