Things were much better back then
When I was abroad
I had no trouble find in her friend
When I was her bro
I'd wonder for miles and miles
And every face gave me a smile
From a grand cooly damn to the nile
When I was abroad

Well I never had trouble with love
When I was abroad
Though it seem to fall from above
When I was abroad
And no matter when we were engaged

And soon enough everything changed
I was held back and kept in caged
From being abroad

When I was abroad I saw
Everything there was to see
Since I've been home with you
Well I just don't feel like me
My days just seem to hang low
When every day used to be stand
So I'm telling my wife that I miss my old life
And I'm working on change it back
