I left my home one day for the sake of better pay
   In a foreign land twelve centuries back in time
   Where the sun keeps pouring down on the holes down 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 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 seem to care and they’ll do it when they’re over there
   But here you face the justice of their God
   And 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 waiting there for me
  
   All the money that I saved to pay for better days
   Just can’t make up for how I miss you so
   There’s no consolation prize but when I close my eyes
   I’m dreaming of you in our new home
   And 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 waiting there for me
  
   Rollin’ home, rollin’ home
   Home to the place I long to be
   Oh-oh rollin’ home, rollin’ home
   There’s someone waiting there for me
