Story behind the song

My daughters and I sing at Nursing Homes sometimes and I thought. I thought how sad it would be to be in a place like that with a good mind and a bad body.

Lyrics

"In A Place He Can't Call Home"
Written by, Curtis Beckman and Jill McCullough

Verse I
D                        Bm
There is a lonley man
F#                      G            A
in a place he can't call home
D                    Bm
such a sad man
F#               G                A
wants to go back where he belongs
Em                              A
Everyday they take care of him
Em                                 A
not the way that his wife did
D
wonders why he's still around

Chorus
Bm                                                     D
He never thought his life would come to this
Bm                             D                      A
in his right mind though his body quit on him
Bm                                     D
His mind drifts back into the time
Bm                                    D
when he danced like the wind with his new bride
A                        Em
on there wedding day she's since gone away
G                                             D
and left him.... in a place he can't call home

Verse II
D                                Bm
They don't know he was a music man
F#                             G          A
as they wheel his chair around
D                                  Bm
a guitar player in a well known band
F#                                        G        A
toured the worlda€¦. from town to town
Em                                         A
Now boring days and sleepless nights
Em                                             A
no applause and those bright lights
D
just memories of his songs


Chorus II
Bm                                                     D
He never thought his life would come to this
Bm                             D                      A
in his right mind though his body quit on him
Bm                                     D
His mind drifts back into the time
Bm                                    D
when his career burned out and he spent his time
A                        Em
on a bar stool drinking like aa€¦. damn fool
G                                             D
and it left him...in a place he can't call home

Bridge
C                            Em
Choices he made long ago
C                                      Em
he has regrets with nothing to show
C
no one to reminisce
A
destined to die in a place like thisa€¦a€¦.

Chorus III
Bm                                                     D
He never thought his life would come to this
Bm                             D                      A
in his right mind though his body quit on him
Bm                                     D
His mind drifts back into the time
Bm                                    D
when he prayed holding hands with his sick wife
A                        Em
on her final daysa€¦. And then he slipps away
G                                             D
while he sleeps... in a place he can't call home
Em       G                                         D
now he's with her.... in this place he cana€¦. call homea€¦
