I left my home one day for the sake of better pay
In a foreign land 12 centuries back in time
Where the sun keeps burnin' down on a hole drilled in the ground
And I dream about the girl I left behind
Well, I signed the dotted line and I thought in a few years time
I'd be home, we could start a brand-new life
But everything went wrong, I just didn't know how long
They will make me stay and pay for my crime
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 waitin' 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, they all do it when they're over there
But here your face is justice of their God
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 waitin' there for me
♪
All the money that I saved to pay for better days
Can't make up for how I miss you so
There's no consolation prize, but when I close my eyes
I'm dreamin' of you in our new home
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 waitin' there for me
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 waitin' there for me
