Seems like the other day My baby went away She went away 'cross the sea It's been two years or so Since I saw my baby go And then this letter came for me It said that we was through She found somebody new Oh, lemme think, lemme think, what shall I do?

I'm just waking up now, in the tears of the ones I love It's quiet, I'll bet that everybody thinks I'm done Two years I've been lost, now I remember who I was Who I was, who I was I know I hurt you, I was so unkind I was ungrateful, I wasted your time

Why go home? Why go home, why go home, why go home, why go home What you taught me (why go home) She scratches a letter Into a wall made of stone Maybe someday Another child Won't feel as alone as she does It's been two years

You're just a little bit out of my limit Its been two years now?? And in my mind now I've been over this a thousand times But its almost over lets start over 'Cause I never wanna be that guy No more having to chase to win that prize Back in high school
