I bought an old home in Del Rio The status-quo stucco looked like the Alamo Neighbor Jethro brought by his fresco Lo and behold he showed where good neighbors abode
He offered tobacco to which I vetoed I said I only smoke alone separate and solo He wanted to know how I liked Del Rio And if the lack of snow had made it all perfecto
And I replied...
Chorus: Oh, why here it's so-so but it is no, no Colorado I miss my home and the cocoa I wanna go home...
He helped me unload my piano And then I played him oh a favorite concerto He yelled profundo while I played allegro And then he tip-tap-toed through my accelerandos
Gave him a banjo and said "strum what you know" Then I pretended I was Dinos my old maestro He kept in tempo and I said bravo He picked the dearest notes that gave me thoughts of sweet hope
Oh....
Chorus
After the song show I offered jam & toast He said he'd forego and he left to tend his young goats So I unpacked soap, found my bathrobe And decided it'd be nice to sit and soak
On the backbone of the commode I placed a family photo then let out a sad moan Then a new groan of hunger followed, And I bought two tacos and an H20 to go
Yeh there is no place no, no place quite like your home Yeh there's no place no, no place quite like your home
