Sacrifice — The Steve Miller Band

Thought about the folks back home All those miles that we had roamed Still can see your pretty hair When I come back will you be there You flew away like a kite I hope you find your light I pray they treat you right What a sacrifice

Miles and miles I have roamed Lookin' for that home sweet home Thought I had the love with you But I found out that you weren't true You made me feel so nice Ready for wedding rice Then you said no dice What a sacrifice

Lookin' back on time that's gone I realized I might have been wrong But Macon took you for a ride They broke us up for their own pride But you were young and didn't understand That you had found your lifetime man Maybe someday you'll see It gets so lonely being free So don't be wrong twice What a sacrifice
