rollin home

Status Quo

I left my home one day for the sake of better pay
In a foreign land twelve centuries back in time
Where the sun keeps pouring down on the holes down in the ground
And I dream of the girl I left behind

Well I signed on the dotted line and I thought in a few years time
I?d be home and we could start a brand new life
But everything went wrong and I just don?t know how long
They will make me stay to pay for my crime
And I wish I was

Rollin? home, rollin? home
Home to the place I long to be
Oh-oh rollin? home, rollin? home
There?s someone waiting there for me

There?s a law that rules this land that I just didn?t understand
I didn?t know that I was doing wrong
But they don?t seem to care and they?ll do it when they?re over there
But here you face the justice of their God
And I wish I was

Rollin? home, rollin? home
Home to the place I long to be
Oh-oh rollin? home, rollin? home
There?s someone waiting there for me

All the money that I saved to pay for better days
Just can?t make up for how I miss you so
There?s no consolation prize but when I close my eyes
I?m dreaming of you in our new home
And I wish I was

Rollin? home, rollin? home
Home to the place I long to be
Oh-oh rollin? home, rollin? home
There?s someone waiting there for me

Rollin? home, rollin? home
Home to the place I long to be
Oh-oh rollin? home, rollin? home
There?s someone waiting there for me
