    Lyrics »

I flew to Aukland and I crossed the world.
I left my lover - she's my special girl.
Over there I was almost always alone -
Then I'm lying thinking
Wonder why I can't get home?
I wonder why - I wonder why I can't get home?
Heavy drinks - forty winks -
Write a note - So remote -
Eating out - fall about -
Reaching for the telephone
Reminds me that I'm on my own.
Concentrating on the times at hand.
Feeling good to be around the band,
But i worry - I worry when I can't get home.

I'm on the road - need girlie company!
There's complications here to being free
Come the dawn - too much horror to be so near.
Pray for her departure -
Got to get myself in gear.
Glory Be! - I wonder what I'm doing out here?
Heavy drinks - forty winks -
Write a note - so remote -
Eating out - fall about -
Reaching for the telephone
Reminds me that I'm on my own.
I get to thinking of the one I love,
I know I blow it cause she's high above.
And that is why
I worry when I can't get home.
