Band Quotes
- Jack White: "Yeah, this is a very old song. I wrote this about five years ago. I never just had a chance to record it really, and I just felt like the time was right. I hope I've nailed it, but I don't know. Maybe it needed to wait longer, I don't know."

Lyrics
You've got her in your pocket, and there's no way out now. Put it in a safe and lock it, 'cause it's home sweet home. Nobody ever told you that it was the wrong way to trick a woman, make her feel she did it her way, and you'll be there if she ever feels blue, and you'll be there when she finds someone new. What to do? Well, you know, you keep her in your pocket where there's no way out now. Put it in a safe and lock it 'cause it's home sweet home. The smile on your face made her think she had the right one, then she thought she was sure by the way you two could have fun, but now she might leave like she's threatened before. Grab hold of her fast before her feet leave the floor, and she's out the door, 'cause you want to keep her in your pocket where there's no way out now. Put it in a safe and lock it 'cause it's home sweet home. And in your own mind, you know you're lucky just to know her, and in the beginning, all you wanted was to show her, but now you're scared. You think she's running away. You search in your hand for something clever to say. Don't go away, 'cause I want to keep you in my pocket, where there's no way out. Put it in a safe and lock it 'cause it's home sweet home, home sweet home.
