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
