Is It Really Home? Songtext
von Isaac Hayes

Can′t believe this was once my home
I left all on my own
But now, I'm back, and I don′t know the place anymore
Nothing is familiar
I feel like a stranger in my own hometown

Strange faces, unfamiliar places
Feel so alone
I wonder, am I really home?
Memories of old lovers
One stands out above all the others
Am I in the twilight zone
Or is this really home

Days turned to weeks
Weeks turned into months
Months turned into years
And now I'm back at number one
Where I started from, all my friends are gone


It doesn't look like home
Is this the old cemetery, where I first
Made love to Mary
It seems so very small
Could it be home after all?

What was once my old hangout is a parking lot now
Is this my old neighborhood or a combat zone
Is this really, really, really home?

Life has been a stage of continuous plays
So many dress rehearsals
Caught up in a haze of my yesterday′s
A nostalgic maze
Has it brought me home to

Strange faces, unfamiliar places
I feel so alone
I wonder, am I really home?
Memories of old lovers
One stands out above all the others
Am I in the twilight zone
Or is this really, really home

Where are all my friends now
I got to find the answers somehow
I don′t know nobody anywhere
Is there someone out there?
