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.
