Rollin' Home lyrics

I left my home one day

For the sake of better pay

In a forreign land 12 centuries back in time

Where the sun keeps burning down

On the hole drilled in the ground

And I dream of the girl I left behind

Well I signed the dotted line

And I thought in a few years time

I'd be home and we can 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, 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 all do it when they're over there

But here your face is justice of their god

And I wish I was

Rollin'home, rollin'home

Home to the place I long to be

Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home

There's someone waiting there for me

All the money that I've saved

To pay for better days

Just can't make up for how I miss you so

There's no consolation prize

Oh, 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, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home

There's someone waiting there for me

Rollin'home there's somone waiting for me

Rollin'home there's somone waiting for me
