Twenty Days and Twenty Nights

I left my home up in the hills

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, oh-oh-oh

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

And I can't take it

I've gotta face the truth one day

A man can't always run away from trouble, oh-oh-oh

Now, for twenty days and twenty nights

I've been a fool

And that ain't right

Without her

Oh, one day soon I'm goin' back

Where she still minds me

(Still minds me)

I've been out of the line and off the track

But, that's behind me

(Behind me)

I fooled around, and did it well

But, I just couldn't ring the bell

Without her, no, oh-oh

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

And I miss her

(Twenty days and twenty nights)

Oh, how I miss her

(Twenty days and twenty nights)

Oh, how I miss her

(Twenty days and twenty nights)

Oh, how I miss her

(Twenty days and twenty nights)

Oh, how I miss her
