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)
