Home Sweet Home Lyrics:
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 seem
To make romantic dreams
Up in lights, fallin' off
The silver screen

My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometimes 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

Home Sweet Home: Power Ballad
While no band personified the Glam Metal appearance more than Poison, Motley Crue lived the decadent lifestyle more than any three bands put together. Motley Crue tickets had gone from selling out clubs like the Roxy and the Cathouse in the early 1980s to selling out major arenas thanks to hits like “Looks That Kill” and “Shout at The Devil”. Heavier than the average Glam band, it would take a special single to get the bad boys into the minds of mainstream audiences. Power ballad “Home Sweet Home” would sell more Motley Crue tickets and albums than any other single.

While some may argue that the standard of the power ballad established with “Home Sweet Home” was not a good thing for Metal, no one could debate the power of a soft song to expand an audience. Fans with Motley Crue tickets saw the girlfriends and even their mothers getting into the band they loved thanks to the soulful and surprisingly sensitive lyrics of “Home Sweet Home”. For a band that would later pen “Girls, Girls, Girls”, Motley Crue would appreciate the rise in female attendance like few others. Sales of Motley Crue tickets skyrocketed with the next tour.

Home Sweet Home: In Concert
On the 2008 Motley Crue set list, “Home Sweet Home” was positioned at the halfway mark where it appropriately led into “Girls, Girls, Girls”. Leading the charge of Crue Fest with younger bands like Papa Roach and Buckcherry, Motley Crue tickets sold to a whole new generation of fans that was discovering Glam and good ol’ Rock ’n’ Roll for the first time. With a 2009 tour scheduled, fans with Motley Crue tickets will have their lighters ready to sing along with “Home Sweet Home” along with classics like “Dr. Feelgood” and “If I Die Tomorrow”.
