Thought about the folks back home nAll those miles that we had roamed nStill can see your pretty hair nWhen I come back will you be there nYou flew away like a kite nI hope you find your light nI pray they treat you right nWhat a sacrifice n nMiles and miles I have roamed nLookin' for that home sweet home nThought I had the love with you nBut I found out that you weren't true nYou made me feel so nice nReady for wedding rice nThen you said no dice nWhat a sacrifice n nLookin' back on time that's gone nI realized I might have been wrong nBut Macon took you for a ride nThey broke us up for their own pride nBut you were young and didn't understand nThat you had found your lifetime man nMaybe someday you'll see nIt gets so lonely being free nSo don't be wrong twice nWhat a sacrifice
