Steve Miller Band Sacrifice lyrics

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
