Don't know how long I've been away
It's hard to say when it's the time to go
Just when you feel your dues are paid
You got it made, there's nothing left to show
Outside my room a light is flashing
So the night can never gain a hold
And in the language that the stranger
Doesn't know he's often easy rolled

And though I'm finding it hard to smile
I get the feeling that in a while
It's alright
I was feeling kind of homesick
But that's alright
It's alright
I was feeling kind of homesick
But that's alright

Chances are for takin'
Fortune'll smile on the boldest one
Don't feel forsaken
Keep on believing your time will come
And you'll see it through

Don't know how long I'vе been away
It's hard to say when it's the time to go
Just when you feel your dues are paid
You got it made, there's nothing left to show
Outside my room a light is flashing
So the night can never gain a hold
And in the language that the stranger
Doesn't know he's often easy rolled
And though I'm finding it hard to smile
I get the feeling that in a while
It's alright
I was feeling kind of homesick
But that's alright
