I almost hate to go back home Somebody's died every time I've been gone I ain't saying I don't want to know Just that it brings me down so low I was needing more out of life I forgot how to be your wife Everybody's settlin' for settlin' down Hear the jingle of the chains rattling around I never really gave much thought I'm sure it's my own fault I just figured after years gone by All them tears would have run dry I go out night after night And I wonder if I'm treating myself right And I think about the ones I left behind When I cry night after night Here's to the ones who worked all along Living in fear of being alone Well I started out early in life I made mine and I knew I Could never really go back home That's the same as being alone Sure, I could always turn it around That'd be the same as shooting me down
