Thought about the folks back home 

All those miles that we had roamed 

Still can see your pretty hair 

When I come back will you be there 

You flew away like a kite 

I hope you find your light 

I pray they treat you right 

What a sacrifice 



Miles and miles I have roamed 

Lookin' for that home sweet home 

Thought I had the love with you 

But I found out that you weren't true 

You made me feel so nice 

Ready for wedding rice 

Then you said no dice 

What a sacrifice 



Lookin' back on time that's gone 

I realized I might have been wrong 

But Macon took you for a ride 

They broke us up for their own pride 

But you were young and didn't understand 

That you had found your lifetime man 

Maybe someday you'll see 

It gets so lonely being free 

So don't be wrong twice 

What a sacrifice
