My love is in america And i miss him tonight So much so, i feel like taking the money we've saved And catching a flight, catching a flight The children are asleep in bed And i'm on my own Even though, i've read his letters again and again I'm all alone, i'm all alone. Response. And the money i send home is barely enough There's an ocean that keeps us apart I've been aching for home but i mustn't give up Question. What about this aching heart Johnny come home, i miss you tonight, i miss you tonight. My love is in america And it's hard to go out Just because, certain assumptions are made when your man's Not about, when your man's not about. My love is in america And i'm not so sure Maybe i'd rather him here in my arms and us To be poor, and us to be poor.
