"Twenty Days And Twenty Nights" lyrics
(from "That's The Way It Is" soundtrack)
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, whoa
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 got to face the truth one day, a 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, will she still mind me?
I've been 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
And I miss her
Oh, how I miss her, oh, how I miss her, oh, how I miss her
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, whoa
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 got to face the truth one day, a 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, will she still mind me?
I've been 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
And I miss her
Oh, how I miss her, oh, how I miss her, oh, how I miss her
