   B
I left my home one day
         E
For the sake of better pay
B                                       F#
In a foreign land 12 centuries back in time
           B
Where the sun keeps burning down
        E
On the hole drilled in the ground
        B          F#             B
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

       E
And I wish I was

Chorus:
B             E      B
Rollin'home, rollin'home
B                           F#
Home to the place I long to be
E            B            E      B
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home
B                F#                B
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

Chorus

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

Chorus - x2
