My love's in America
And I miss him tonight
So much 
So, I feel like taking the money we have saved
And catching the flight
And catching the flight

The children are sleeping well
And I'm on my own
Even though I have read his letters
Again and again, I'm alone 
I'm all alone

But the money I have sent home is barely enough
There's an ocean that keeps us apart
I have 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's in America
But it is hard to go out
Just because certain asumptions are made
When your man's not around
When your man's not around

My love's in America
And I'm not so sure
Maybe I rather have 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 have 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)

Johnny 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)
