lyrics
You want opportunity or do you want a home
You can’t have both so you choose to go
To the a place everyone talks about
And all that wealth that they can’t live without
They talk of the jobs, yeah they talk of the money
But when people are lonely, they act a little funny
And they don’t talk about all the pain
While your lying in bed missing your home again
Forgive me I'm not where I’m used to
I don't recognize who I’m turning into
So now your alone in your little cell
And you miss your wife in this living hell
and your ways have changed from what they were
But don’t get confused no ‘cause I’m not her
And do you remember who you used to be
Or did you forget it all when you got to calgary
Does your father know what’s become of you?
And would your mother be proud of who you are too?
I don’t think I can want take this anymore
No I don't think I can stay here anymore
Just take me back home where the waves crash the beach
Where the seagull flies high across the sun just out of reach
You can’t have both so you choose to go
To the a place everyone talks about
And all that wealth that they can’t live without
They talk of the jobs, yeah they talk of the money
But when people are lonely, they act a little funny
And they don’t talk about all the pain
While your lying in bed missing your home again
Forgive me I'm not where I’m used to
I don't recognize who I’m turning into
So now your alone in your little cell
And you miss your wife in this living hell
and your ways have changed from what they were
But don’t get confused no ‘cause I’m not her
And do you remember who you used to be
Or did you forget it all when you got to calgary
Does your father know what’s become of you?
And would your mother be proud of who you are too?
I don’t think I can want take this anymore
No I don't think I can stay here anymore
Just take me back home where the waves crash the beach
Where the seagull flies high across the sun just out of reach
