Many songs. “Home on the Range” is one of them (5)

I believe the answer is:

lairs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'home on the range is one of them' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'many songs' is the wordplay.
'many' becomes 'l'.
'songs' becomes 'airs' (I've seen this in another clue).
'l'+'airs'='LAIRS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lairs that I've seen before include "retreats" , "Resting places of wild animals" , "Places to hide" , "Scottish landowners" , "forms etc" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
