I left my home up in the hill far behind me   I left my wife with unpaid bills, she can't find me   I'm trying out the world for size, find that it's not paradise, it's lonely   Now for twenty days and twenty nights I've been alone   And that ain't right without her      City ways are strange to me, I can't make it   For it's not like it ought to be, I can't take it   Gotta face the truth one day, man can't always run away from trouble   No, now for twenty days and twenty nights I've been a fool   And that ain't right, without her      One day soon I'm going back, where she still minds me   And then out of line and off the track, but that's behind me   I fooled around and did it well, but I just couldn't ring the bell , without her, no   It's taken twenty days and twenty nights to prove me wrong and make her right   Twenty days and twenty nights I was wrong and she was right, all along      Oh, I miss her   Oh, how I miss her, oh how I miss her, oh how I miss her
