My love is in america
And i miss him tonight
So much so
I feel like taking the money we've saved
And catching the flight
And catching the flight

The children are sleeping well
And im on my own
Even though i've read his letters
Again and again, im alone, im all alone

But the money i've sent home is barely enough
There's an ocean that keeps us apart
I've been lonely from home, but i mustn't give up

What about this aching heart?

Johnny come home, i need you tonight
I need you tonight

My love is in america
But it's hard to go out
Just because certain asumptions 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 rather him here in my arms
And us to be poor
And us to be poor

Still 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

What about this aching heart?

Johnny come home, i need you tonight
I need you tonight (i need you tonight)

Johhny come home, i need you tonight
I need you tonight (i need you tonight)

Johnny come home, i need you tonight
I need you tonight (i need you tonight)
