(Curley Cooke and Les Dudek)

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
