I left my home one day
For the sake of better pay
In a foreign land 12 centurys 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 on the dotted line
And I thought in a few years time
I'd be home and we could 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 see 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 how I miss you so
There's no consolation prize
Oh, but when I close my eyes
I'm dreamin' of you in our new home
