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
